Alternative to RAMPS 1.4 for DELTA printer? Smoothieboard maybe? is there anything else?

I was discussing some things about motors for my Delta printer I want to build and I mentioned that I was planning on using the RAMPS 1.4 kit and NEMA 17 that are the ones in the Kossel Kit.

Than I was told this:

btw I wouldn't choose standard RAMPS or any other 8-bit Arduino electronics to run a delta, because the 8-bit processors barely have enough power for this application. I suggest you choose 32-bit electronics.

So where do that leave me? Can someone recommend a solution here. The only thing I have found that I think might fit this recommendation be the Smoothieboard 4x. Am I correct and does this fit the bill? Will this work with a Delta printer? will this work with MatterControl?

I would like to get some input before making a purchase.

Thank you in advance!
