The Radxa Rock 5 ITX+ is a game-changing mini computer that delivers desktop-level performance while using just 15-25 watts of power - that's 10x less than a typical desktop PC! This tiny powerhouse features an 8-core ARM processor in big.LITTLE configuration, 8GB up to 32GB RAM, onboard 32GB eMMC, dual 2.5Gb Ethernet, 8K video output, and even HDMI video capture, all packed into a standard mini-ITX form factor that fits in your palm. Perfect for home servers, media centers, development work, or anyone wanting a silent, energy-efficient computer that can handle 4K video editing, web browsing, and everyday computing tasks without breaking the bank at just $159. We'll walk you through everything from unboxing to benchmarking, show you how to install the operating system, test real-world performance including Geekbench scores that rival much more expensive systems, and demonstrate why this could replace your bulky desktop computer. Whether you're new to mini computers, looking to reduce your electricity bill, or want a compact yet powerful system for your next project, this comprehensive review covers installation, performance testing, accessories, and everything you need to know about low-power computing in 2025.

It has everything on one board, so maybe it is a single board computer? 🤔

Note #1: This is the 'plus' model, which lacks the SATA ports but adds other new features. I referred to the original documentation though, because there is none for the plus variant yet!

Note #2: The 'llvmpipe' is a software renderer, because the Mesa drivers do not support full OpenGL, only OpenGL ES, hence the lower FPS too.
