According to https://gadgetversus.com/processor/rockc...ip-rk3566/, the PineBook Pro is still more performant than the Quartz64.
The next "Flagship" CPU from Rockchip will be the RK3588. But that one has been postponed for more than a year now.
Upgrading the PineBook Pro would come with more work: We need a Linux kernel that runs, u-boot, GPU driver, hw video acceleration...
For the current PineBook Pro almost all of these things are finally in place now.
I would say that the PBP now is an even better product than the PBP two years ago, when it came out. (This seems different from the Android/Windows world, where value/performance only decreases over time)
