The RockPro64 has an x4 PCIe slot. The 2gb model is 60$ and the 4gb one is 80$. Add ~20$ for accessories and you have a nice little board that should be faster

Also, the heterogeneous 2xA72+4xA53 CPU setup is ehh.. :/ What's really cool about the RPi4 is that there's four A72 cores. And now 8GB RAM. And https://rpi4-uefi.dev https://rpi4-uefi.dev.
