Upcoming ARM v9 product with 45 TOPS NPU

I spied a little comment from @hipboi about an upcoming Radxa product with ARM v9 core, 64GB LPDDR5, 45 TOPS NPU, 5 Gbps Eth and PCIe 4.0.

Can you tell us any more… expected release date etc?

I guess late 2025 or 2026? RK3588 was revealed in 2019 but was delayed due to the pandemic.

But seeing that 45 TOPS NPU, this might not be the Rock series but a new product based on Snapdragon?

That Rockchip slide only has 16 TOPS, so it has to be something different.

Based on specs I am wondering if its based on the Snapdragon X Plus, however I am not sure if the Oryon CPU is fully ARM.

Most probably Cixin P1

what we said is Not RK3688, it’s another SOC, it’s at EVT stage now, the earliest batch will be released at mid-November as plan if everything is ok.

Didn’t know about that SoC… it looks like a good contender. I would say a Chinese IC would be more likely than the Snapdragon.

Sign me up for the beta test :wink:

Ok, then it’s really Cixin P1 (CP8180). :slight_smile:

EVT means ‘Engineering Validation Testing’ and ‘earliest batch’ is about the SoC and not a Radxa product based on it, right?

No, it’s radxa product, EVT / DVT / PVT are three different stages for hardware product.

What about board format?
Something similar to: https://docs.radxa.com/en/sirider/s1/getting-started/introduction ?
So much pcie lines and I/o so I rather expect micro atx than SBC.

I will tell you if it’s possible.

the format is mini-itx

No, the NPU is 30 TOPS, 45 is the value for everything (NPU/CPU/GPU) running inference at once, which is a stupid metric.

International release?

An SBC based on the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 would be nice as that SoC is up near the levels of Apples best silicon.

I find this impossible but if radxa pulls this out f.ng yay!

Everything is possible :slight_smile: But 9400 IO is too few and not suitable for SBC usage.

So there it is: http://www.radxa.com/products/orion/o6/
I hope the kernel is not a mess, upstream will go smoothly and the drivers are not buggy. Excited for 2025 & ARM. From a Hardware point of view it looks “perfect” to me especially for its price point.

Great news :slight_smile:
From now guys from truenas will not claim that ARM is too limited for NAS builds :smiley:

One 10Gbit would be better than 2x 5G and SFP+ than RJ45.

While I agree at least 5GbE has come down significantly in price.
25$ SFP(+?) Transreceiver: https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwPDUTw
