Unboxing the Rock 5 Model A Pink Edition: The Raspberry Pi 5 Challenger?

Dive into the vibrant world of single-board computers with me on Technically Unsure as I unbox the eye-catching Rock 5 Model A Pink Edition! Priced at a total of $109 ($136 including taxes and shipping to US) with 16GB RAM, this board is setting up to be a serious competitor to the Raspberry Pi 5, which is currently around $80 for the 8GB RAM version. The Rock 5 Model A Pink doesn't just stand out with its unique color; it's packed with powerful features that might just give it an edge over the Raspberry Pi. From its Rockchip RK3588S processor, blending speed and efficiency with Quad-Core Cortex-A76 and A55 cores, to the impressive Arm Mali G610MC4 GPU, this SBC is built for performance. I've got the 16GB RAM version here, and we're going to explore its capabilities together, including 8K/4K video playback and CPU benchmarks, GPU benchmarks and gigabit ethernet benchmark. Plus, we'll dive into the GPIO pins to see just how versatile this board can be. Join me as we discover if the Rock 5 Model A Pink truly rocks the SBC world!

Thanks for the video!
How much time does it take from power-on to the appearance of first image or text on the screen?
In Rock 4SE (Debian factory image) it took 10 confusing seconds after power up before anything showed on the screen, for these 10 seconds the screen remained black which suggested that the computer might be broken... I wonder if they fixed that with Rock 5.

Orange Pi 5 is the true raspberry Pi 5 challenger and it was out before Raspberry Pi5 ..
