Radxa Dragon Q8B packs a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 laptop SoC into an SBC form-factor, delivering leading benchmarks and rich I/O across multiple RAM SKUs, but early software/BIOS caveats and high peak power temper its practical appeal.

Raspberry Pi signals a Pi 6 timeline around 2028 with a focus on CPU/IO improvements, ongoing Zero-series supply constraints, and RP2350 MCU progress, suggesting continued premium on software ecosystem over new hardware.

DRAM price increases are pushing high-RAM SBCs out of reach for hobbyists, threatening the overall hobbyist SBC market, with Raspberry Pi pricing leading the way.
