Industry Performance (TCI Graphics) – July 25, 2025

Discover the details of the new Orange Pi Nova SBC, powered by Loongson’s 2K3000 SoC, offering improvements over the 2K2000 for embedded and industrial use cases.

Orange Pi—a vendor of low-cost, single-board computers (SBCs) modeled after British vendor Raspberry Pi—announced the Orange Pi Nova, a new SBC built around Chinese manufacturer Loongson’s 2K3000 SoC. The 2K3000 is intended for embedded and industrial use cases, making the product less ambitious than the desktop-focused 3A6000 analyzed by TechInsights in 2024.

The announced features of the new SoC indicate a generational improvement over the 2K2000 SoC. While LoongArch largely resembles MIPS64 Release 6, the unique ISA, novel GPU design, and reliance on SMIC for manufacturing make the Loongson SoC a wholly made-in-China product.
