The next Orange Pi 'Zero' puts the Allwinner A733 (dual A76, hexa A55, RISC-V RT core, 3 TOPS NPU) into a postage-stamp board with Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and a PCIe Gen3 x1 slot that finally gives the Zero line real storage. From $26.50; the 4GB tier is the one to buy.
ArmSoM's Sige6 pre-orders for $119 with the Allwinner A733, up to 128GB soldered eMMC plus an M.2 PCIe 3.0 x2 slot, PoE, and a RISC-V coprocessor that lets the main CPU sleep while sensors keep talking.
Pre-orders are open on Arduino's dual-brain edge-AI board: a Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 (40 dense TOPS NPU) for perception and inference, plus an STM32H5F5 real-time MCU for deterministic I/O, bridged by RPC. One box for the whole robotics stack.
Pine64 says DRAM and eMMC prices have made its Linux devices unviable — no new production until at least mid-2027, and current stock runs out in about three months. If you wanted a PineNote or PineTab2, the window is visibly closing.
