I have no complaints about the ThunderX: plenty of cores, easy to 
spec with ram and storage, even the fancy NIC works without any 
issue (once you sort out the slightly circuitous configuration).
I’ve been tracking -CURRENT for a couple of years now with very 
few issues. Its power draw is reasonable and its modest cooling 
needs keep it well below spacerocket levels.

Probably the price-per-performance formula doesn’t really pan out
great at this point, but as you point out, the space between the
RPI and say the eMAG is a little thin.
