Radxa Orion O6 brings Arm to the midrange PC (with caveats)
...with caveats. TL;DR - The Radxa Orion O6 is an Arm ITX motherboard with up to 12 cores, 64 GB of RAM, and Armv9.2 support, starting just over $200 USD - The board has a SystemReady SR-certified BIOS, which allows running Windows on Arm and many Linux arm64 ISOs unaltered - The firmware still has many quirks, enough that I wouldn't recommend it if you don't enjoy tinkering with drivers (remember how I said to temper your expectations in February?) - Prices for those in the US (like me) just tripled due to import tariffs (ordering the 32 GB model went from $400 to $1500).

But in positive news, the firmware that limits the board to 8 cores is SystemReady SR certified, meaning it has full UEFI support and can run Windows or Linux arm64 natively. I wanted to see how LLMs would run with a full 20 GB of VRAM, but alas, all the AMD graphics cards I tested in Ubuntu 25.04, from the 7900 to a 7700 and even my older 6700 XT, errored out.
