I don't have the technical knowledge about it as you apparently have. But it seems promising seeing that there are a few SBC in the market already working. There's also the pinetab 2 which is a quad-core @1,5Ghz. Not superfast, but yes lacking a lot of software support yet. Also the Linux phones running on arm lack a lot of battery optimization, but it's very interesting how fast some problems were solved like standardization of OS images by using tow-boot. A problem android wasn't able to solve in more than a decade.

I hadn't seen tow-boot. Was familiar with u-boot though. This is interesting: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab-V

I have a SiFive HiFive Unmatched running ubuntu. I tried to write low-level code to do what u-boot should do on that hardware (wind up the PLLs, flip some switches, etc, the stuff the HW manual says must be done at power on) and then print something to the screen. But it just printed garbage to the screen and I never figured out why my code wasn't working... and then I discovered nostr and my life changed.

Yeah that's the pinetab I wan referring to. And that's tow-boot a forked u-boot:
