Thank you for your recommendation. I've looked at some of those SoCs and they're impressive but none of them do what I'm looking for. I want to make a graveyard for my old GPUs, but without the power overhead I have right now with them configured as essentially a mining rig that's folding proteins instead of guessing the hash. I understand that the potential power saved by using ARM or RISC over x86/64 is a few dozen watts at best and chosing an SoC over a desktop platform hamstrings any opportunity for scaling, but it's been a dream project of mine for quite some time. It doesn't have to be practical.

Whenever I am doing different projects I go with RasPi alternatives. I agree they're cheaper and superior.

Low end Intel like Gracemount N200 are lower power and higher performance than Raspberry Pi.

Even an old JasperLake is like 24 watts max to Pi5's 27 watts.
