The processor is weak comparatively on the Zima. I think the minimum you want to be looking at is the current generation of Intel N-series. CWWK and Topton make nice options that have similar I/O, better networking. STH [0] has a good article reviewing.

- windexh8er 3y agoWouldn't you rather have a decent CPU and better I/O at the same price point in a similar form factor? There are options. Some that are better, which is why I posted the link. Not everyone is OK with a couple generations old CPU.

Zima's site showcase benchmarks that position their boards at the same performance level of a Raspberry Pi 4. The recently announced Raspberry Pi 5 doubles that, improves all IO, and costs between half and a third of an equivalent Zimaboard. For the price of a Zimaboard, we can drop by Amazon and buy a MiniPC from the likes of Beelink or Minisforum.
