This past Spring, i upgraded my pi 3s to 64 bit Raspian (Buster). I had not seen this announcement and was looking for apps to try. I bumped into Asteroids early, probably because it's early in the alphabet. These 3 pi 3s mainly pushed my Asteroids to 100k hours (WUProp helps me see which machines are still running). Last month i picked up a Libre AML-S905X-CC, which looks much like a pi 3 and runs a modified version of the same Buster OS. It ran Asteroids find. Averaging about 40 apps run on each of these shows the Libre to be about the same speed, at least for Asteroids. The Libre has 2 GB RAM, which is why i bought one. It wasn't for Asteroids. The pi 4 is about 4x faster than the pi 3 for Asteroids. I have a 2009 vintage AMD Phenom 2 956 which is about 15x faster than the pi 3. All these machines have cooling.
