I've had a Banana Pie M3 for years that has a 8-core A7 and PowerVR that I'm pretty sure scales better. I paid like $50.00; they are 68.00 on AliExpress now.
If I need a complex host that runs a OS I just use that and Gentoo, or I go for low-energy M3 or M4 real-time based stuff.. I'd like to see octa-core with a higher clock on the fast-four and 4-8 GB of LDDR4 on a <$70.00 board.. These things are great for running stealth servers off of..

Banana Pi and Orange Pi do offer some decent specs for the money but I'd still rather have a Raspberry Pi because of the support / community.

No, it cannot do that.

Intel Edison had the cleanest form and best QA, but Intel is discontinuing all three of it's SBC platforms.. I ran PB on one of those dirt-cheap VIA ITX boards a long time ago under Debian and XP SP3(retail and embedded), so there should be no problem. They are all ELF and PE binaries it's the subsystems that will break PB if anything; I never had an issue with GTK&Debian or NT stuff though and it's all more stable now.
I've fantasized about Raid 6 and reverse proxy on UPS fail-over infrastructure using these low powered SBC for a long time but always was short on money or short on time to actually build images and set it up. I have a game server in PB that uses a golang http interface that I'd like to put on it along with some http CMS stuff..
4+ GB LDDR4 and octa-core under $80.00 I think is something that could happen at any time though.. I seem to remember an octa core Pentium too with POP RAM but forget the micro-arch and model; they were going in to hybrid tablets I believe..

it's a shame Intel has discontinued the Intel Edison board. I had some here from when I had a hackerspace.
Without a doubt, it was the best card to run a small golang server. The best part is that it was an 80x86 which made deployable deployments ridiculously simple.
Now I'm also looking for a good replacement for Edison.
