There have been attempts run Linuxcnc on Rockchip platforms.
Unlike gaming raw graphics throughput isn't a great concern.
The key to a successful Linuxcnc system is tasks happening at dependable and regular intervals., which doesn't always equate to raw clock speed. The Begle Bone Black was quite capable running Machinekit (a fork of Linuxcnc that has gone very quiet) using the on board PRUs for generating the required signals. This is a board with a 1Ghz arm proc and 512MB ram. Ran very well with Debian Wheezy.
And whilst SBC are intersting in the broader computing world, best bang for buck appear to be 2nd hand ex corporate PCs. They are cheap and provide a very easy entry for most users.
