Specifically, an RK3576 is installed. It has four Cortex A72 computing cores with a maximum clock frequency of 2.2 GHz and four Cortex A53 computing cores.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">As usual, the Cortex A53 computing cores should be able to handle less demanding tasks themselves and thus enable greater energy efficiency. An ARM Mali-G32 MC3 graphics solution is integrated into the SoC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">An NPU is also available, which offers AI computing power of up to 6 TOPS. AI-supported image recognition can be done directly on the Banana Pi BPI-M5 Pro without using the cloud.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The LPDDR4x RAM measures 8 or 16 GB depending on the configuration selected. The built-in eMMC memory is 32 or 128 GB in size.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The VPU can also decode H.264 material at 30 frames per second and in 4K resolution. Measuring 92 x 62 mm, the board reportedly operates in temperatures ranging between 0\u00b0 and 80 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 are also available, plus two Ethernet ports. A microSD card and an M.2 SSD up to the M.2 2280 form factor can be installed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Image output is possible via HDMI, DisplayPort, and MIPI DSI. The GPIO pin header is, as is often the case, compatible with the Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Lastly, a 5-volt fan can be connected if needed. The Banana Pi BPI-M5 Pro has yet to be available, and the price will likely be over $100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Banana Pi BPI-M5 Pro: New Raspberry Pi Alternative Offers AI Computing Power\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/sci-tech\/banana-pi-bpi-m5-pro-new-raspberry-pi-alternative-offers-ai-computing-power\/#more-500\" aria-label=\"Read more about Banana Pi BPI-M5 Pro: New Raspberry Pi Alternative Offers AI Computing Power\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sci-tech"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":504,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500\/revisions\/504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urdukhaber.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
