You really think RockPi5 is an SBC on par with Advantech and Aaeon?

As a Rock3A owner I can say no. It may look like a real SBC but it is not.

The rk3566 used in Rock3A is a poor 4-core Cortex-A55 chip, it can't even beat the RPi 4. But when it comes to the 4xA76 + 4xA55 in the rk3588/Rock5, they can't be compared, not to mention the 8k60 video codec and NPU support in the 3588.

  • The RK3566 is a $6 SOC, the RK3568 is $9 - there are a million use cases for these where RPis are just too expensive.
