I bought a rk3588 arm widget for $120 ($140 with a nice metal case) with 8GB ram and 8 cores. I installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and was able to compile Rust and Go from source. So far I'm impressed. It's pretty fast (about half as fast as my 2015 Xeon) at compiling Rust. It seems generally pretty usable aarch64 platform and bodes well for other aarch64 implementations. I believe the rk3588 requires a custom (not mainline) kernel, but I believe the important bits have been upstreamed and should appear soon ... hopefully.
Neat widget, no fan, cheap, and reasonably fast. Was something like 6-7 times faster than an Rpi4 at compiling rust.

Pretty happy with it, was easy to get ubuntu 22.04 going, but with their image. From what I can tell they use the same not upstreamed kernel on all their images. I've heard progress, in particular with OpenWRT. It does make a decent router, or just a nice mini server. 8GB ram means it can do handle a fair bit. Compiling rust was 6-8 times faster than a Pi4. It's been stable so far, it does require a usb-c power supply, which I had lying around. It does have a microSD slot. If in the USA you can get it quicker from amazon, but around $200.
