Working with ARM servers at work I'm a bit based, but x86-64 is not the most moden architecture. But the Atom processors (remember the Asus eee netbooks ?) is quite capable. But the x86 architecture is not the future. It's only found in desktops, laptops and servers. Mobiles, pads, cars, appliances, etc and general IoT devices run some version of ARM (ARM processors ship about 20x more than x86).
For those who want a more performing ARM single board computers there are a large range, like Orange Pi and Friendly ARM to pick two I have fist hand experience with.
How well OpenPlotter integrate with the different OrangePis are somewhat uncharted waters. They claim to be more or less compatible with RPi. I have on my plan to test a few Orange Pis as a more performing yacht server could be nice. So far most of the time is spent on getting the yacht server project finished (first take). ARm processors are now found from RPi (or even smaller) up to high end servers like HiSilicon (Huawei) 1620 and Marvel/Cavium Thunder X2.
