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.
