N100 is probably the best CPU Intel has now, completely demolishing the low end. I have an N100 firewall, an N100 ASRock mini ITX board for NAS, an N305 CWWK NAS/home server board and they are all unbelievably good compared to older Atoms or RPis. Only 7840U is significantly better but also consuming much more energy.
- helf 2y agoDitto to this. I have fallen in love with the N series chips. I use N100 mini PCs all over the factory floor as client machines for workers that manage job control and I am typing this on an N200 power PC that I have slapped a 48GB DDR5 SODIMM in. Working great. Btw, ALL N95/N100/N200/N305 systems I have used have worked fine with 32GB DDR4 SODIMMs or 48GB DDR5 SODIMMs. Even tho Intel claims 16GB max for DDR4 and DDR5. Also, the N305 chip is great. Basically two N200 slapped together. They didnt double the L3 tho which is annoying. But the 8 cores is fantastic. I am currently running a 4 box Proxmox HA setup with with 3 N200 systems directly connected to each other with 2.5gbit links. Working great. I am hoping someone puts out larger DDR5 SODIMMs. these with 64/72/96GB would be fantastic :) Oh, and I am using 118GB optane nvme drives as swap location and l2arc for the systems. regular NVMe drives for storage/OS
