IDK, what does "Pi" have to do with anything? Orange Pi is a Raspberry Pi-like device running an ARM SOC and their Orange Pi 800 also uses an ARM SOC.

The Orange Pi Neo doesn't have an ARM chip, isn't at all related to the Raspberry Pi, and isn't Orange. It's like their trying to mix the branding of Raspberry Pi and Ayaneo, without understanding what makes either cool.

Terrible branding because I at first thought it was an underpowered system that would only be good for retro gaming.

Orange Pi is a brand that has some recognition as a Raspberry Pi knockoff. Presumably it's the same people leveraging that existing brand.

How dare they use their brand name! Spectrum types will have a conniption fit. Prepare for apoplexy!
