On the best CoreMark score, RK3588 is 191.3% higher than RK3568.

Verdict and recommendation

RK3588 (4x A76 + 4x A55, 8 nm) is a generational leap over RK3568 (4x A55, 22 nm), scoring about 190% higher in CoreMark and adding a 6T NPU, 8K decode and USB 3/PCIe 3 expansion. RK3568 is cheaper and lower-power for a basic downloader or single-drive NAS; choose RK3588 when budget allows, especially for Docker or 4K media.

This conclusion is based on public specifications and 17NAS measurements for reference. Your workload (bay count, transcoding needs and Docker scale) matters more than a benchmark score.
