The Atom CPU should be faster than an Arm.
- deelowe 7y agoWe sure about that? If we take a common use-case, emulators are very well optimized on ARM these days (more so than PC in some situations).
- pizza234 7y agoIt depends if one talks about Atoms in general or specific models. The Celeron J4105 (which powers the ODROID H2), is technically an Atom, and it's massively faster than an RPi 4 (2-5x), but I don't know about the Z8300. Based on Passmark (which is an arbitrary choice), Rock Pi X and RPi 4 may have comparable performance; if that was established, and I wanted a cheap SBC, I'd definitely go with the former.

- pizza234 7y agoCorrection: as pointed out, the J4105 does not belong to the Atom, but the Celeron family (although the architecture, Goldmont Plus, may be used in the future for Atom), so the comparison is not correct.
- akmittal 7y agoRaspberry pi 4 should be as fast as Atom x5-Z8300
- shifto 7y agoYeah but using an Intel Compute stick with the Atom and a Pi 4 both with Ubuntu the Atom is definitely faster in my experience.
- pizza234 7y agoReal-world comparison here: https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1907128-HV-1907127HV99 https://openbenchmarking.org/result/1907128-HV-1907127HV99 it's hard to make an absolute conclusion; it seems that the Pi 4 is faster than the Z8300 in more cases, but not all. I wouldn't categorize these results as "definitely faster" though.
- shifto 7y agoI think disk IO makes a lot of difference and I guess (didn't look it up) the Atom might get better IO results out of the eMMC SSD than the Pi4 does.
