The ROCKPro64 is not super fast, but it is a pretty big step up from the Pi. 2 big cores and 4 little cores with 4GB RAM for $80. ~2800 geekbench multicore, Pi 3 is ~1400.

About $1000 will get you a Snapdragon 845 devkit with 6GB RAM which is again quite a bit faster. 4 big cores and 4 little cores. ~8500 geekbench.

$6400 will get you a 96 core ARM server.

$269 (+ $70-100 shipping) will get you a MACCHIATObin (+ a 4GB DIMM), a mini-ITX board with four A72 cores, PCIe and FOSS firmware (https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/edk2-open-platf... or even just mainline TianoCore) capable of running a graphics card before the OS (thanks to qemu).

$300 for a tiny Kirin 970 board with 6GB RAM.

$1200 will get you a Developerbox, 24 A53 cores, also PCIe and FOSS firmware.

£2255 will get you a 32-core Ampere eMAG workstation

You can also order a system from Ampere directly, no public prices but they might be offering 16-core systems for less.

A friend of mine is building a k8s cluster out of 4 gig Rock64 boards. Not terribly fast, but low power and fun for experimentation, I guess.
