Hi @evilbunny 

these numbers look amazing (compared to the PI4). What operating system are you using?

I think that the Rock64 could be the solution for my performance problems... Am I correct that the size of the Rock64 is equal to the size of the RPI4? I have a small Rack for my PIs I would like to mount the Rock64 there.

Thanks!

Bye

Rock64 same size as RPi3, the only different is the power connect (DC jack vs microUSB).
