Who needs such a powerful CPU with so little RAM? The reason I have still not bought any Pi is all of them have 2 or less GiBs of RAM and I don't feel interested in buying anything with less than 4.

You'd be wanting to look into ARM-64 boards like the ROCKPro64:

There's others that are pricier (> $100) with x86 arch the UDOO boards if you really want a SBC with much more RAM too.

What do you need that much RAM for? What do you plan to run in this machine?

Little RAM needed for processing streaming data.
