Do you have any experience of how this board performs vs the MACCHIATObin?

Both have A72 cores at 2 Ghz. The LX2K has 16 cores vs 4 cores on the
MACCHIATObin, but I wonder if typical compilation workloads are able to
use all cores vs. being I/O or memory-bandwidth-starved.

The other main advantage of the LX2K would be dual-channel memory. But I
wonder if that worth the price difference.
