Already communicated within the OpenVoiceOS - Development Matrix channel but going to leave this here as well.
The Raspberry Pi3 version of OpenVoiceOS is in par with the Raspberry Pi4 version and an early development release has been pushed for the “brave” people to give it a try.

@Alcapond and others. In the upcoming days the rpi3 and rpi4 branches are going to be merged and a new Raspberry Pi4 version will be released based on this same code base. After that going forward, both rpi3 and rpi4 development images will be released.
Below some quick and dirty performance indicators of the device running.
OpenVoiceOS - Running on a rpi3b with GUI running.
OpenVoiceOS - Running on the same rpi3b without the GUI running (Headless)
As you can see, more then enough CPU power. The 1 GB memory is about enough with all default skills installed. Perhaps with a lot more skills installed or perhaps heavy skills there might be some task waiting happening but time will tell.
We have to say that at boot, 1/3 of available memory is converted into zram compressed swap (in memory) to squeeze a little bit more memory out of it.
If you have a Raspberry Pi3 lying around and have some time at hand, please feel free to give it a spin. The same as with the rpi4 images you can flash and boot this iimage from both SDcard as well as an USB drive, however as the rpi3 only has USB2.0 we recommend a proper SDcard.
