ODROID-C5

ODROID-C5 is an affordable, power-efficient, high-performance Single Board Computer that supports Android and Linux platforms.

ODROID-C5 is powered by the Amlogic S905X5M application processor, manufactured in an advanced low-power semiconductor fab, featuring a quad-core Cortex-A55 CPU running at 2.5GHz and a modern Mali G310 GPU running at 0.85GHz.

Compare to the ODROID-C4 which had the previous generation processor S905X3, the computing performance of the ODROID-C5 is about 20-25% faster. The 4GB DRAM interface is significantly improved, the memory bandwidth increases by about 30%, and the new GPU 3D rendering performance is more than doubled.

Despite the noticeable performance increase, power consumption was reduced by over 25%, making it possible to build a very energy-friendly single board computer that consumes less than 2.5 watts even when the computing tasks are fully loaded. These outstanding low-power and low-heat characteristics make it the first SBC in the ODROID product line to be heatsink-free.

The dimensions of the ODROID-C5 board and the location of the connectors are identical to those of the ODROID-C4. Therefore, the C4 case can be used unchanged.
