However, if you are wanting stellar desktop performance, I don't know of any solution in this category. A RPi4B will come the closest. But, IMHO, even the RPi4B still isn't there for most applications.....REALISTICALLY.
If you desire a lower power and lower temperature solution, the Rock64 still wins. Couple one of these boards with a cost-effective VLAN switch (like the Dlink 1100-8) and you've got a POWERFUL wire-speed VLAN/VPN router at a great price point.
For my desktop workstation (running x.org) that I'm typing this from, it's a Ryzen3, running Ubuntu 18.04.
Hmm, I have a pfSense router running on an x64 machine that I built. Do you also use pfSense on the R64?
