Conflicting requirements.
No switch will tick 4 or more boxes without hugely going against last point.

Switches with ARM64, 2 results below 500 $:
https://mikrotik.com/product/crs304_4xg_in

https://mikrotik.com/product/crs418_8p_8g_2s_rm

Both come with RouterOs only (level 5).

First has 512 Mb RAM, second 1 GB.

End of search.

Is the RB5009 an option?

Official Mikrotik prices for switches: https://mikrotik.com/products/group/switches

You have to check the best fitting you. Not too many choices but local distributors/sellers could offer better prices or you can real bargains before the end of year.

"I need a switch, I dont care how many ports, their speeds, or switching performance. As long as it has these router specifications."

Why dont you look for a router?

Because they aren't dual boot, point 2 of the list.

A number of switch devices are dual boot SwOS/RouterOS, but they are not ARM64, point 1 of the list.

Loosely devices with ARM64 run RouterOS only, no matter if they are categorized as switches or routers,

Funny as I was expecting dualboot to be able to partition.
@d3lynk, can you give some more insights please?

Could be, of course :slightly_smiling_face:, ambiguous requirement.

Here’s the best way:

  1. Search for “ARM64 switch” + “dual-image” or “dual-boot” in the specs.
  2. Ensure it has ≥1 GB RAM and no wireless.
  3. If you need RouterOS level 5/6 license, focus on MikroTik or RouterBOARD gear.
  4. Compare prices and pick the cheapest device that meets those must-haves.

Want me to find 3 good switches right now with those specs?
