I pulled the trigger on a RockPro64 4gb this morning. The RockPro64 has the Mali
T860 gpu (supports OpenGL 3.2).

I have a Pine64 A64+ 2gb. Just a couple of days ago, I built a preempt_rt 
kernel 
for it running on armbian Stretch.

I cloned the raspberrypi/linux repository (it had the latest good arm sources).
I downloaded the source for 4.19.25, I downloaded the patches 4.19.25 from 
kernel.org <http://kernel.org/>. 
At that time the latest patches for 4.19.y was 4.19.27. and applied the 
corresponding 
preempt_rt patch for it. I used the make menuconfig option. 
Now just a few days later the latest patches are for 4.19.31. They are working 
very hard
to integrate preempt_rt into mainstream.

Pine64’s A64+, Rock64 and RockPro64 are hardware options in the menuconfig. So 
far,
I have had no problems that I can trace to the kernel.

When my RockPro64 arrives I will try to build the preempt_rt kernel for it.
