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.

Raspberry Pi Foundation Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4

7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

The right choice specifically for products and enclosures being designed around Pi 4 silicon; not meant to compete with the Pi 5 for hobbyist desktop use.
