The author built a custom JBang-based benchmark runner using the Renaissance Benchmark Suite, covering seven workloads including actor concurrency, fork/join parallelism, and in-memory databases. Results show the Orange Pi 5 Ultra (ARM RK3588) leads among traditional SBCs, with Raspberry Pi 5 a close second. RISC-V boards (Orange Pi RV2, BeagleV-Fire, StarFive VisionFive 2 Lite) are viable but slower. The benchmark tool and an interactive dashboard are publicly available on GitHub. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
