       @geerlingguy What I love about ARM boards is their low power consumption and the fact that you don't need any fans in idle mode. What I really hate is that there is always some compromise (speed of the NIC, availability of PCIe 4.0, USB Ports limited to 5 GBit/sec) holding them back. Even the most potent non-server FF board I know comes only with PCIe 3.0 and 1 GBit/sec NIC. I wish someone would make a "pull out all stops" board for enthusiasts. Hopefully, we can get something with A78/X1 cores.

       @cloud_manul It could happen! I think we're getting there.There's a strange convergence where Intel keeps pushing lower wattage (but not quite Arm efficiency level yet), and Arm keeps pushing higher performance (while mostly maintaining efficiency).To the point I hope things can settle on an SBC that costs $50 or less, more along RK3588 performance level. To me, that's a sweet spot.

       @geerlingguy - for a czazy experiment, I'm thinking... four GPUs, and see if it can mine. I think they use pcie 1x for that.
