Orange Pi launched a device that comes in a similar form factor as the Raspberry Pi 400. One of the main differences between these products is the integrated processor which is the six-core 64-bit Rockchip RK3399 found in the Orange Pi 800.

The Rockchip RK3399 contains a dual core Arm Cortex-A72 (up to 1.8GHz) and a quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 (up to 1.4GHz). The chip can also be found in other Single Board Computers, for example, the Rock Pi 4 and Rock Pi 4 C+ (both products from Radxa). The RK3399 also integrates the Arm Mali-T860MP4 GPU which supports OpenGL ES, Vulkan and Open CL.
