Unless it can natively run all the existing ready-to-go Pi images and software packages and will also receive community support when I ask for help in a Pi-adjacent forum it's not really going to be a competitor to the Pi. The hardware is pretty much irrelevant.

Damn, I got a Pi 4 8GB ram. Still planning on putting recalbox on it though.
Do you research very well before buying other boards than a Pi. It may be for you or now, depends a lot on your use-case.
Pretty cool. I'd compare this one to the Odroid H3±
That "SBC" has a strange price point because it is Intel and costs 250$. For 100€ you can find an HP Mini with an i5 8th gen + 16GB of ram + 256GB NVME that obviously has a case, a LOT of I/O, PCIe (m2) comes with a power adapter and outperforms a RPi5 in all possible ways.
I found it for $165. Definitely wouldn't pay $250.
Still have to buy power supply, case, cooling, etc.. And it has an older Intel CPU too.
There are newer Intel N100 boxes with a case, PSU, cooling, and so on for the same price or less sometimes.
Do you know of any newer Intel SBCs with the same IO? I would like to take a look
Well https://www.kubii.com/en/nano-computers-boards/3824-odroid-h3h3-card-3272496313545.html on their website yes, it costs $165 https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h3-plus/ assuming you won't pay extra taxes.
