Yes, if I look at those new Intel N100 based mini PCs with a 15W TDP and their power / price / consumption ratio it would seems Intel took notice of the threat and reacted accordingly.
Especially now that the RPI kind of need a fan and you need to buy the power supply, the storage and the case.
Well the RPI has GPIO but for small home server use case nobody cares...
- nirav72 3y ago>Well the RPI has GPIO GPIO can be added via tons of USB to GPIO boards out there. But I agree - lot of people tend to buy the Raspberry Pis for home servers instead of just opting for used mini-PCs from secondary markets. Even a 7-8 year old Intel CPU in those mini PCs will vastly outperform a Raspberry pi. Even the Raspberry 5. Plus, better I/O options and storage with mini PC.
- monocasa 3y ago> GPIO can be added via tons of USB to GPIO boards out there. Depends on the use case. USB adds a few orders of magnitude more latency and jitter versus what's probably just APB.
