And despite their broadly similar performance, the RK3588s have significantly better power draw.
However I’m not sure of any of the rk3588 vendors that support both UEFI and have a full-size PCIe slot like the MS-R1 has.

Similarly, a Beelink mini runs one of my Proxmox nodes and it's excellent. Literally sips power, too. I think I measured under 30w while under load. I mainly use it for my Plex instance given the N100 with QuickSync.
