If Android will do - Cortex-A53 smartphones like the Huawei Ascend Y550 cost 120€ nowdays in Europe (about 4x the price of a Raspberry Pi).

Also Nexus 9, for quite a bit more money. The problem with these phones and tablets is they are quite unlike server hardware:

- Far too little memory (2GB vs 16/32GB+)

- Slow flash vs SATA disks

- The "zoo" of u-boot/proprietary kernel crap, instead of UEFI, ACPI and standard upstream kernels

- Nonsense like locked bootloaders (Nexus 9 disables HYP mode in the bootloader!!!)
