Radxa releases Rock 5B Plus with up to 32 GB LPDDR5 RAM to compete against Raspberry Pi 5

Radxa has now started selling the Rock 5B Plus globally, having presented the single-board computer (SBC) earlier this month. As the likes of Linux Gizmos and Liliputing note, the Rock 5B Plus shares plenty of features with the existing Rock 5B.

For example, Radxa equips both with the Rockchip RK3588, an 8 nm chipset that encodes and decodes 8K videos thanks to its four ARM Cortex-A76 cores (2.4 GHz), four Cortex-A55 (1.8 GHz), a Mali-G610 MC4 GPU and a 6 TOPS NPU. However, the company has swapped LPDDR4X RAM for LPDDR5 RAM clocked at 5,500 MT/s. Moreover, Radxa has split the M.2 M-Key (PCIe 3.0 x4) connection that the Rock 5B offers for a pair of M.2 M-Key (PCIe 3.0 x2) connections.

On top of that, the Rock 5B Plus supports cellular connectivity through an M.2 3042 slot. With that being said, the Rock 5B's M.2 E-Key is missing altogether. Currently, the Rock 5B Plus is available from ALLNET China and Arace Tech. Supposedly, Radxa will eventually sell the Rock 5B Plus on AliExpress too, although its original listing appears to have been now deactivated. For reference, the two retailers have priced the Rock 5B Plus as follows:

• 4 GB RAM - $75 (ALLNET China)
• 8 GB RAM - $95 (ALLNET China)
• 16 GB RAM - $119 (Arace Tech) / $135 (ALLNET China)
• 24 GB RAM - $159 (Arace Tech) / $175 (ALLNET China)
• 32 GB RAM - $215 (ALLNET China)
