Can't wait to see what the performance on this will be like with an optimized Linux emulation OS!

To think a tiny board could run from Atari 2600 to Wii is amazing. The PS2 emulator from the captures are using the widescreen patches but the video frame is still in 4:3, the games look squished, but still amazing to see them running as well as they do. For 16-bit and even 8-bit tests, can you set runahead to at least 2 so you and others can have a better idea on how it handles the extra load?

Wow, this is impressive. I'd actually love to see it in a Pinebook, or another arm laptop. Maybe this is finally a chip that can do some actual (albeit a bit lighter) work done, and does come with potentially great Linux support.

This is crazy powerful stuff. Handheld consoles will get even better

Seeing these games bring back memories.

Love the intro my man 😎

I had such big hopes for the RK3399 back in the day, I had pre-ordered two different SBC's and two different TV boxes. I was disappointed to not see good linux driver support after years(!) of waiting. I hope this SBC gets better support, but I'm certainly not going to preorder any rockchip devices this time.

will be nice to see Anbernic or Powkiddy using this chip on a handheld, it can basically run what everybody is asking for them

For gaming on Linux you have to make sure to have the latest kernel and graphic drivers. So best find a way to update or install an Arch based distro like Manjaro KDE to have similar experience to the Steam Deck.

I would have liked to see PCIE x16 on the ITX base board. 489$ is a hard sell too. You could get a cheap mobo and ryzen Apu for that price. If possible Taki, can you generate some comparison data?

Integer upscaling should help with performance if upscaling is possible on that unit. Lower res to get better performance. Convert to full screen using some upscaling method.

How much power does it draw on maximum clocks? It's impressive but if it drains a battery flat in two hours it won't be much use for handhelds.

I love that Intro!

Just Sub bro, thank you for the presentation.

Imagine what those tiny chip could do in the next decade lol

This is a very promising chip and price seems good. Let's hope companies will pick it up!

Ps2 and 3ds in a portable emulator are the dream for me. There's so many good games in those libraries that, at least for ps2, would be killer I'm portable form.

i guess this will compete with the likes of the AYN Odin and i'm thinking it will be a similar price. i would be truly excited for all the upcoming handhelds that will be competing in this range, but last week i picked up a pixel 3 (snapdragon 845) with a razer kishi, and i think i'm going to be keeping this a long while. but who knows, maybe once the competition heats up with these chips and there is a nice, inexpensive handheld, i might pick up it up if my current set up doesn't work out.

Please use Spider-Man 2, Ultimate Spider-Man (PS2/GCN) and Spider-Man Web of Shadows (Wii) in the Dolphin/AetherSX2 emulators, I believe they are tougher to run than many of the games you chose for benchmarks and a lot of us probably want to play them.

For my applications, industrial replacements, and integration for PLC's, Rockchip just does not hold up to extreme operating environments and is a bitch to use with your more obscure OS's and codes you see in the industry, past, and present. I find myself using the older Pi boards a lot as speed and memory and GPU capabilities are not an issue as stability and resistance to heat and moisture are. Cooling the newest boards is an issue. I try all options in micro board tech. For this board, it was just too unstable on the test bench so I did not waste the time testing it under load and in less than optimal environments. I have 100's of boards that I tested but I am sure I can use them to build a retro gaming console. :)

It is the step up that we have been waiting for for 5 years now and as soon as it gets into TV boxes and handhelds then it might take off if the price is kept low, although based upon the Firefly model, I'm not so sure. Linux gaming and video playback is unlikely ever to make much progress because of the lack of Mali open source drivers. As reported a while back by CNXSoft, there will be 2 models of RK3588, one with all the I/O and a cut down one that will likely be seen in boxes and handhelds.

Firefly usually charges a higher price for their SBCs compared to other vendors. You would need to see what Orange Pi or others charge for this chip to get a good idea of where the bottom line is. The chip itself is only about 2x the cost of the RK3399 / S922x

Here's my fantasy for a chip like this: Someone puts out a solid gaming handheld with an RK3588, something in a similar form factor to an AYN Odin. Then that they use Linux, either with one of the options for seamless Android emulation (ie running Android apps so that you can select them from the regular menu, and then they open like native apps) or with a dual boot. Then, coincidentally, Proton on ARM releases in at least a functional form around that time, so that you could run low end Steam games on a chip like the RK3588. Then you'd have one decently powerful handheld that does emulation, Android games, and at least easy to run Steam games. At a price point comparable to something like an Odin Pro. And since this is a fantasy, I'll add an OLED screen to my imaginary gaming handheld.

Everything is gonna be ok.

Man, the early adopter fee on that dev board is pretty steep at around 500usd. I have a Rock5 16gb preordered and will also get the Pine version when it releases too (unless it's the same exact board, prior the RockPi had NVME for the pcie lanes while the RockPro64 just had an actual pcie slot...that I used for a nvme > pcie card). I've already got a case with proper cooling for the most part designed for the Rock5. I doubt the boards with 16gb of ram will drop to the 39-80 dollars of previous gen, but even at the discounted preorder prices for the Rock5 you're getting a desktop experience for the price of a part or less in a lot of cases (proper driver/kernel support permitting for hardware encoding/decoding along with everything else...I hate Debian, so I'll be working on getting Manjaro/Arch and FreeBSD going for mine).
