lattepanda vs raspi for multipuropse server

[OrangeTurtle]

so i want to set up a few server processes (pritunl vpn, minecraft server, maybe pihole) and am stuck between the raspberry pi 4b (4gb ram), lattepanda alpha 864s, and the lattepanda delta 432. the lattepanda costs a lot, but it seems pretty powerful, though the raspi costs a lot less and has no cooling fan. which one is the best for multiple server tasks (unless it's being split between multiple servers)?

if lattepanda, i'll probably install ubuntu, because licensing windows is annoying, and if i get a raspi, then it gets raspbian

Also take a look at SeeedStudio Odyssey - its as powerful as the LattePanda Alpha but near the cost of the LattePanda Delta.  You can skip to 7:45 if you just want the comparisons. https://youtu.be/Dd-qqaIL-ko

 

Edit: for Minecraft server I wouldn’trun it on a Raspberry Pi - even a Pi 4. The Odyssey or Udoo Bolt or a LattePanda are better suited. For a VPN Server and PiHole, a Raspberry Pi suffices.

I wonder how this will change, now that they have released the 8GB model

My advice would not change. Yes the 8GB allows more RAM heavy loads, but what OP was asking about really would benefit from better CPU performance.
