Replacing the Nano board with a 32bit board

I have seen that most of the people using the Eleksmaker has replaced the Nano board with a 32bit board.
Will this board work :

I have never seen a 32-bit clone, all Arduino Nano clones use the same Atmel ATmega328 chip so are 8-bit AVR RISC-based microcontrollers.
It looks like this one has the older bootloader rather than Optiboot but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Hi Zax,
Ok now i'm totally confused ? Posting the screenshot from FB or is this not the truth ? According to these guys it will give you a much better greyscale range due to the 32 bit processor ?

It looks like they are talking about using a STM32 Nano replacement, so they can use TMC stepper drivers for improved control.
