The ROCKPro64 is not super fast, but it is a pretty big step up from the Pi. 2 big cores and 4 little cores with 4GB RAM for $80. ~2800 geekbench multicore, Pi 3 is ~1400. https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro64-4gb-single-board-computer https://www.pine64.org/?product=rockpro64-4gb-single-board-c... About $1000 will get you a Snapdragon 845 devkit with 6GB RAM which is again quite a bit faster. 4 big cores and 4 little cores. ~8500 geekbench. https://www.intrinsyc.com/snapdragon-embedded-development-kits/open-q-845-development-kit/ https://www.intrinsyc.com/snapdragon-embedded-development-ki... $6400 will get you a 96 core ARM server. https://system76.com/servers/starling https://system76.com/servers/starling

A friend of mine is building a k8s cluster out of 4 gig Rock64 boards. Not terribly fast, but low power and fun for experimentation, I guess.
