The Orange Pi KunPeng Pro computer has now made its entry into the global market after its China launch. The KunPeng Pro is one of Orange Pi’s single-board computers that was previously exclusively available in China. It is powered by the Huawei HiSilicon Hi1910 CPU with LPDDR4X RAM and eMMC flash storage is also featured.
The global availability of the KunPeng Pro is coming just about a month after it was released in China. Third-party resellers are believed to have brought the SBC to the global market. It is available in the US, Europe, and the United States. The Huawei-derived HiSilicon SoC has quad 64-bit CPU cores and an AI accelerator that can achieve up to 8 TOPS of performance. The architecture also includes an unknown GPU. Both Orange Pi and Huawei have not provided the full details about the HiSilicon Hi1910 chipset.
Apart from its memory and eMMC flash storage, the KunPeng Pro has an M.22280 slot. It also has a Gigabit Ethernet connection, two HDMI 2.0 interfaces, and a USB-C port that provides up to 65W of power.
The Orange Pi KunPeng Pro is available from AliExpress at a starting price of $223.42 (8GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC). The model with 16GB of RAM and 64GB of storage is priced at $251.02. It remains to be seen the type of reception the model will have in the global marketplace. It is however noted that Orange Pi has some models already internationally available.
