Can anyone say how many watts this board pulls in idle and under full load? Couldn’t find anything in my quick search. Thanks.
Introduce ROCK 5B - ARM Desktop level SBC
rock 5b idle wattage in google gives 1st entry https://www.cnx-software.com/2022/07/20/rock-5b-rk3588-sbc-preview-what-works-what-doesnt-in-debian-11/
But @tkaiser has a mass of data on various power consumption

warning thats an early sample rock 5b
Both numbers depend on
- settings (which vary over time since software support is still WiP)
- connected ‘peripherals’ (like a Wi-Fi card)
- use cases (some people use boards like Rock 5B only headless, others only with display, keyboard and mouse connected)
And ‘full load’ is relative. You can get 100% CPU utilization on all cores with rather lightweight tasks while you can generate twice the ‘full load’ consumption with really demanding tasks that show a lower CPU utilization (stuff @NicoD most probably will never understand).
And then RK3588 is more than eight CPU cores since there’s also a capable GPU and NPU and VPU and ISP inside the package. AFAIK so far nobody has measured real ‘full load’ with all SoC engines being ‘fully loaded’.
That being said some use case / CPU numbers here.

from ameridroid or allnet?
It’s a bit surprising there’s no YouTube review about this board yet, have only so few people received it?
My shipment tracking link also doesn’t seem to work, it says something around the lines of package not found.

The old one is not about the final version. But thanks for the new link!
i am watching the new one right now and i knew that the old one was not about the release model but the 1.3
did you order it from allnet or ameridroid
I’m guessing Ameridroid is waiting on their inventory to get to them by boat from China. Judging by their radio silence, it’ll probably be weeks for us to get ours from them.
