Verdict

Firefly ROC-RK3588S-PC

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

The original RK3588S design, still notable for UEFI boot support that makes standard Linux installs far easier.

Radxa ROCK 5A

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely fast, NPU-equipped board in Pi-4-sized clothing -- the best pick when you want ROCK 5-class performance without paying for the M.2 slot you won't use.
