Intel N100 Radxa X4 First Thoughts
- prmoustache 2y agoIs secure boot broken by using test keys?
- metadat 2y agoI thought the n100 would be a joke compared to an an HP G6 mini with i5-9xxx (small book sized computer), but seems they might be competitive with n100 drawing 1/6 the energy? Is that right? Can n100 do fast SHA256 and h265 / x265 transcoding across multiple containers? https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_processor_n100-vs-intel_core_i5_9500t https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_processor_n1...
- Dalewyn 2y agoIf you want a basic idea of an N100, it's essentially a single Alder Lake E-core cluster (4 E-cores) with one of the low tier iGPUs and a trimmed down memory controller. The presence of the iGPU means it /should/ handle video encoding surprisingly well for what it is.
- magicalhippo 2y agoCan do several transcodes easily[1] if you get the iGPU involved[2]. Only tried it on a single stream myself but worked well after a bit of fidling.

- inhumantsar 2y agoQuick Sync on Alder Lake has hardware encoder support for HEVC 8, 10, and 12bit and decoder support for AV1. Anecdotally, my busy Plex server (Alder Lake but not an N100) routinely ends up doing 3-4 concurrent transcodes, often involving high bitrate 4K HDR content. The Quick Sync encoders take almost all of the load off the CPU and never have trouble keeping up. That said, I haven't had great experiences driving a display with 4K+ HDR content on an Alder Lake iGPU. At 60hz it's not too bad, but it can get stuttery past 100hz particularly in high contrast scenes with lots of movement.
- rcarmo 2y agoQuickSync and its variants are the secret weapon of the N-series. They make excellent Plex servers.
- treprinum 2y agoOld Atoms were able to do that. N100 is way more powerful (better than Skylake at the same frequency).
- jsheard 2y agoI'm curious what your application is that needs fast SHA specifically, but yes these Gracemont cores do have hardware SHA-1 and SHA-256 acceleration. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracemont_(microarchitecture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracemont_(microarchitecture) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_SHA_extensions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_SHA_extensions
- supertrope 2y agoThe N100 is as fast as the i5-6500T.
- aappleby 2y agoI already have a N100 mini-pc to play with, but now I want one of these guys too. So cute.
- tedunangst 2y agoThat thermal pad looks dreadful.
- daft_pink 2y agoWe really needed an intel based raspberry pi competitor with built in nvme! This looks amazing!
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y ago$60! That seems like a ridiculous bargain. Evidently I’m not the only one who thinks that, because they are sold out. Not in love with the reported temps, but I would probably be willing to throttle the CPU significantly.
- brcmthrowaway 2y agoOk so no CUDA, how about OpenCL?
- m3kw9 2y agoHaha, no it barely can process 2d graphics, you don’t need to worry about Cuda
- snailmailman 2y agoThe n100 is at least “not awful” at 3d graphics in my experience. It doesn’t compare to a discrete GPU of course, but it can handle basic games. Mine has been able to run dolphin at the consoles’ native resolution. Although I think I had occasional stutters in some circumstances. I have an n100 mini pc hooked to a TV and I play couch coop games on it occasionally. It can do reasonably well tbh, but for simplicity I do end up streaming most games from a more powerful machine. I’ve heard performance is better in windows but I’m running mine slightly handicapped- as a proxmox VM with GPU pass through, and not a lot of ram. This same box also runs all my home automation and a few other services.
- metadat 2y agoIsn't discrete GPU the bottom of the barrel?
- snailmailman 2y agoA discrete gpu is like AMD/Nvidia cards. They are very capable for graphics, and essentially required for any higher end gaming. This machine would just have integrated graphics. Which aren’t the best but they are okay-ish. Better than I expected to be honest. I think AMD probably has better integrated graphics? I’ve heard great things about what the Steam deck is capable of for instance. But the N100’s price point is very hard to beat.
- metadat 2y ago
- darkteflon 2y agoThe N100 seems to be everywhere - presumably it’s some kind of major leap forward in perf/watt or perf/$ versus, eg, J4125? For those in the know, is an N100 mini-pc currently the best place to start for a kid’s “my first Linux PC”?
- NelsonMinar 2y agoI've been really impressed with the N100 Mini-PCs. I have a couple running Proxmox and then a few different VMs and containers to do light server stuff. For $180 the Beelink gives you 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD, plenty of video output. Just a fantastic performer.
- snailmailman 2y agoI’ve got likely the exact same box as you, and I’ve done the same thing. Mine runs proxmox with a variety of services. Additionally I managed to get gpu passthrough working with the integrated graphics. My box is physically located below a TV- so I’ve got one VM running Bazzite for gaming, outputting over the HDMI. It’s perfect for streaming games from my gaming pc to the couch. Bluetooth and USB is also passed through to the VM without issue for controllers.
- darkteflon 2y agoSlightly OT but Proxmox is something else I see is suddenly everywhere - is it only for a container-based homelab setup, or do people also run a full desktop distro like Debian or Fedora as one of the VMs? Since GPU passthrough is supported, seems like a nice neat way to have your cake and eat it too. In which case I might splurge on an N305 with a bit more RAM and migrate Plex and other containers (currently on an always-on M1 which is supposed to be my workstation), plus the Tailscale exit node (currently on an RPi4) to the same machine the kid uses as his DE.
- back7co 2y agoThis may help, and you may be surprised at how well an N100 can run Plex. https://www.doscher.com/gpu-passthrough-for-intel/ https://www.doscher.com/gpu-passthrough-for-intel/
- loki1725 2y agoGenuine question, but what's the use case for this? I do a ton of embedded compute, but it all requires extensive GIPO/PWM, etc. Then I do a lot of desktop compute, but it all requires a GPU and a fair bit of horsepower. What's the use case for a SBC made to be embedded in a project box, but without extensive IO?
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoEmphasis on the low power. It’s just a computer, but one that is cheap and yet still capable of doing work. Host a blog. Home automation. Dedicated SNES emulator. Personal Minecraft server. DIY NAS controller. Maybe good enough to act as a TV media player. Anywhere you might want a bit of always on compute without paying a ton.
- transpute 2y ago> DIY NAS controller Needs ECC memory to compete with low-power Ryzen with ECC.
- kvemkon 2y agoIntel N97 seems to support a so called In-Band ECC with non-ECC UDIMMs, thus there is a slight performance hit (both memory bandwidth and processing resources). I'm curious whether N100 does support it too, though considering a huge difference in a recommended price, it could support, but it would be artificially forced disabled.
- transpute 2y agoGood to know, since ODROID H4 uses N97 and has 4 SATA ports + NVME with M.2 bifurcation, https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/ & https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/m-2-4x1-card/ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/m-2-4x1-card/
- kvemkon 2y ago
- jauntywundrkind 2y agoAbsolutely could not help myself, preordered one. Same speed as my always-on i5-6500t mini-PC, and has a RPi0 on it? Neato. Coherent boot system & mainline kernels? Oh heck yes so much better than this amateur hour most cores make you suffer. Had kind of been planning to get whatever comes next, at a bigger tdp (more N305 class), but Radxa really nailed the price here, while being very fully featured.
- nirav72 2y agoAt $60 - its able to run anything x86, plus hardware transcoding and a cpu about 3x more powerful than a RPI 5, not sure why anyone would even want a raspberry pi. Not to mention the built in 2.5G nic with PoE and m.2 slot. Adding a PoE and m.2 hats on a raspberry pi would add another $25-40 to the price. Hope they ramp up production on these Radxa boards. Edit: another source with better image of the form factor. It might actually fit a raspberry case. https://www.cnx-software.com/2024/07/19/radxa-x4-low-cost-credit-card-sized-intel-n100-sbc-raspberry-pi-5-alternative/ https://www.cnx-software.com/2024/07/19/radxa-x4-low-cost-cr...
- paulmd 2y agoi've done the rant many times before [1] but frankly rpi has almost never made sense. there were always things like the ECS Liva/Liva X for $100-125 that were fully-featured, for roughly the same price as a rpi once you consider all the shit you'll need to get that $45 computer booted up. The Liva (and similar booksizes/net-tops, and similar things like AM1 platform from AMD) benefited hugely from using standard drivers and standard BIOS versus a massive amount of early ARM jank (the early RPi days a lot of things were actually soft-float, let alone niceties like UEFI!). the best argument for rpi has always been the combination of GPIO and linux. But that's a double-edged sword too, because linux isn't really very good at hard-realtime. And you can always just get a Bus Pirate or similar tool for doing just plain GPIO. And nowadays the ESP32 has basically completely displaced it for a lot of those sorts of "GPIO glue" roles. If you didn't need that, like if you just wanted a low-power fileserver or HTPC... the x86 stuff was better, because it actually worked reliably, at roughly the same price. Like literally just go buy an off-lease mini-tower or USFF mini-pc for $10 from a surplus store, even. This goes doubly when you consider all the problems with the early rpi. Like basically it uses USB 2.0 (unidirectional 500mbps) as a system bus... but it also dropped USB packets under load due to bugs in the firmware[0], that nobody outside the Pi foundation could address because Broadcom didn't release the documentation for like 5 years.

- danparsonson 2y agoJust bought myself an MSI Cubi N for exactly that - 1Gbs ports only though.
- seanlane 2y agoIf you're feeling a little adventurous, you can find Intel N100 boxes with 4-6 NICs: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/cwwk-topton-nxxx-quad-nic-router.39685/ https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/cwwk-topto... Went down this route and haven't had any issues with heat or having to replace heatsinks, add fans, etc. that others mentioned, but your mileage may vary. Runs opnsense on proxmox, along with some other containers. It's been a great little box.
- 15155 2y agoWhere can I buy these N100 chips and get development material (reference designs, etc.) for them? Rockchip has been super easy, I have no idea where to start with Intel.
- adrian_b 2y agoA new hardware project should better use the refresh of Alder Lake N, i.e. the Amston Lake CPUs, which are sold as the Atom x7000 series. Alder Lake N and Amston Lake are pin compatible, so the CPU model does not influence the schematic and PCB design. The development material is given by Intel under NDA, so you must contact Intel sales for that. Nevertheless, you can see the equivalent of a reference design by downloading the schematic of Radxa X4 and its PCB assembly drawings. Radxa is among the nice SBC vendors who provide good documentation for their products. All their products come with their complete schematics, as they should. For those who do not want or cannot enter in an NDA relationship with Intel, it is possible to design a product that uses a SOM instead of a CPU package. This greatly simplifies the design and the manufacturing, but SOMs are intended for industrial applications, so they are expensive. For example, I have looked now at DigiKey and I have seen a Advantech SOM with N97 (which is better than N100) at $272, with 4 GB DRAM, which is more than 4 times more expensive than a Radxa X4 SBC with 4 GB DRAM @ $60. The cheapest way to make a hardware design with Intel CPUs remains to integrate a small SBC like Radxa X4 into a bigger box, together with a custom PCB. Arm CPUs are not better. To make a hardware design with MediaTek Genio 1200 (quadruple Cortex-A78) or Rockwell RK3588 (quadruple Cortex-A76), you still need to get under NDA the required documentation. Only for microcontrollers like those made by Renesas, Infineon, ST, NXP, Microchip etc. you may find the complete documentation on-line. For RK3588 there have been published many schematics of various SBC's, so for some less important project one could design a PCB based on the public RK3588 datasheet and on the available schematic examples, but for a serious project one would want the real Rockchip documentation. In the same way, for an amateur project one could make an N100 design starting from the published Radxa X4 schematic, even without the Intel documentation. However, the Intel CPUs like Alder Lake N or Amston Lake are normally sold in bulk, e.g. 1000 pieces or at least a few hundred. It may be difficult to find a distributor who would sell smaller quantities.

- Havoc 2y agoSurprised no sata headers. I’ll def wait to see if the fanless heat sinks work out on these first
- jsheard 2y agoSATA is awkward because the drives need a +12V rail, and this board probably doesn't have one, so they'd have to cram another power supply in along with the SATA controller or leave the user to bodge together an external power supply solution. If you don't mind doing the latter you could put a SATA controller in the M.2 slot: https://www.amazon.com/MZHOU-Support-Interface-Spports-Windows/dp/B0B14V753G https://www.amazon.com/MZHOU-Support-Interface-Spports-Windo...
- nebalee 2y agoThe board is powered via USB-C PD at 12V, so it might as well have a 12V rail. But with a SATA connector they probably would have to account for power hungry devices with spinning disks, which feels a bit antithetic to having a power efficient processor.
- rcarmo 2y agoI have a similar board on order, and yes, you need a 12v source
- wkat4242 2y agoOnly 3.5" drives need 12v though.
- ssl-3 2y agoI've never come across a consumer 2.5" SATA device that uses 12V. I've been plugging them into my laptop's USB ports for a couple of decades or so now with no 12V rail in sight No issues. And for 3.5" SATA devices, I am smart enough to know to use an external power supply. Lack of on-board 12V has never stopped me. It has also never stopped anyone with a conventional ATX PC on their desk (oh noes! external power again!) Whatever the reason is to not include a SATA port, power ain't it.
- 2y ago
- gammacherenkov 2y agoI would like to add another comment on the matter of idle power draw, that is turning out to be somewhat disappointing on the platforms of this generation (a). The TinyMiniMicro PCs from 8/9th-gen Intel are impressive as they can get below 3 W at the wall. Gemini Lake (Refresh) thin clients can also easily get under 4 W. I wonder whether these performances come from optimisations driven by actual market requirements (I guess it can make a difference for a company that run thousands of those?). ARM RK3588 platforms are champions in this regard. My Orange Pi 5 Plus idles at 1.5W (less than a RPi 4, with the same power supply). However, they are not viable for people who want to run Proxmox. It seems that almost all N100 platforms idle above 5 W. Also, there are not so many passively cooled options from reputable manufacturers, while actively cooled boxes are not so silent (while TinyMiniMicro PCs are super quiet under most usage scenarios). (a) With EU energy prices, a 5 W difference translates to 20-35 EUR per year on the electricity bill.
- rcarmo 2y agoYeah, all my N-series machines idle at 6-8W with nothing but an EMMC/SSD and Ethernet plugged it. Older J-series are about the same. RK3588 boards go substantially lower, and the other RK series look to do less.
- kvemkon 2y agoWhat are W-ratings of the power supplies for N-series and RK?
- Wytwwww 2y ago> (a) With EU energy prices, a 5 W difference translates to 20-35 EUR per year on the electricity bill. 0.45 - 0.80 €/kWh is surely on the high-end? In most countries it seem to be less than ~0.25 (pr at least 0.3) https://qery.no/consumer-energy-prices-in-europe/ https://qery.no/consumer-energy-prices-in-europe/
- wkat4242 2y ago14c here in Spain yeah. Some countries like the Netherlands are a lot higher but they painted themselves in a corner with gas dependence. At the same time Russian imports became politically unviable their own gas fields became untenable due to earthquakes. Prices went up to 50-100c per kWh and I believe still hover around the 40c level there. Most of the electricity there isn't generated by gas but they also stimulated electric heat pump heating heavily leading to a huge pressure on the grid. But anyway I live in Spain now so I don't care :P
- iAkashPaul 2y agoCan't wait to get this & have TrueNAS+Jellyfin up & running on it, certainly beats having to buy so many addons for the Pi & still not have a super reliable build.
- c0g 2y agoDoes anyone have experience of putting a huge GPU on something like this and using it for inference? You'd be limited by data feeding over the NVME port, but otherwise you won't be bottlenecked right? Seems like a light weight and cute way to limit non-inference power/weight without having to pay the price of a Jetson board.
- rcarmo 2y agoYou just don’t have the bandwidth to do that. Even if you use the M.2 slot you’ll be significantly bottlenecked and would be better off using something else - even an AMD iGPU will work better (https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2024/04/13/2100 https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2024/04/13/2100)
- c0g 2y agoWhat’s the bottleneck? Once I’ve got the model and data onto the GPU my only cost is launching CUDA kernels right? Not sure if that blog post is relevant, but even if it is it shows a 3060 gets //way// faster throughout than the igpu it is testing. I suppose I can test this myself by plugging my 3070 into the NVME on my desktop.
- me_me_me 2y agoI think you mean plugging a mobo into your RTX? On serious note, since you need big psu to drive serious GPU, why opt to use RPi or any other small form factor?
- c0g 2y agoIt’s a mobile platform, so saving 100 w on the CPU would make a difference. That’s the answer I tell myself, the real answer is because it would look hilarious :D
- dvdbloc 2y agoDoes anyone know where to buy one of these? Aliexpress keeps saying it is out of stock and has for about a week now.

- sitkack 2y agoThank you! Mystery solved.
- GordonS 2y agoOne of these with Emulation Station should make a fantastic retro gaming machine! I'm using an Rpi 4 as one at present, but for sure it would be better with much more CPU power.
- madduci 2y agoYou should then look definitely for Batocera Linux
- JamesSwift 2y agoAs the other commenter noted, I've recently been migrating from retropie to batocera and its night and day for the most part. I've had more quirkiness on batocera due to it being less of a standard platform, but the performance itself is not even close. Full upscaling on retro consoles, and easily handles nintendo switch.
- GordonS 2y agoWow, are you playing Switch games on an Rpi, or on something beefier? Also, do you have any links for pre-loaded Batocera images?
- JamesSwift 2y agoIm validating it on a desktop pc at the moment, but have a minipc in the mail that should handle it fine (minisforum um790 pro). No links for pre-loaded if you mean roms, but batocera is a much more pre-loaded experience if you mean emulators and config. Its a much more rigid experience than retropie. You can get it at the homepage: https://batocera.org/ https://batocera.org/ The nice thing is that it is designed to be run from a usb-stick, so you can easily pop it in and validate the use case before going full-install.
- anfractuosity 2y agoCurious about the max frequencies on the GPIO pins since I believe it drives them with an RP2040. Not actually sure how the RP2040 interfaces with the Intel chip though.
- geerlingguy 2y agoI presume it would just be attached over USB internally. That would make using it with the official SDK and other tooling as easy as a Pico attached to any other computer.
- robotnikman 2y ago>This means that I was able to grab the Windows 11 ISO and install it. I was able to go to Debian’s homepage, grab the latest ISO and just, well, install it? Still the biggest advantage x86 has over ARM in my opinion. I hope one day common ARM processors become as flexible. Either way its amazing to see x86 processors so cheap, low power, and still rather powerful. I hope to see more devices using these N100's
- geerlingguy 2y agoAmpere is the main company with that kind of setup (with full EDK II BIOS and UEFI), but they still target server / HEDT, not desktop, and certainly not the SBC/hobby space. I asked Raspberry Pi about the likelihood of seeing UEFI support this year and it didn't sound like it was a priority, at least not for the Pi 5 generation. Would still love to see it, as it would let distro maintainers focus less on a few "premiere" Arm boards and be able to just have one distro for aarch64.
- p_l 2y agoRPi is, AFAIK, doable to run UEFI, but you need to DIY a bit.
- javchz 2y agoI agree. I recently got a Raspberry Pi 5 and regret not getting one of these N100s instead for a small home server. A lot of the killer features of the Pi like using a traditional phone charger, being passively cooled, and being "cheap" are no longer there if you want a stable system. On the other hand, the "low power" from ARM systems, it's not that big of a lip compared to a traditional X64 mini-PC CPUs.
- wkat4242 2y agoYep. I was in the same spot. The N100 is also cheaper if you factor in the adapter, case, nvme etc. I had a N100 for 100 bucks. Much better than a pi for a small home assistant server IMO. Raspberries are no longer cheap nor especially good value for money. Things were really different at the time of their introduction. There wasn't really anything similar except the Marvell based sheevaplug. The only thing I'd use a pi for now is something that really needs GPIO as well as significant processing (eg more than an esp32 offers).
- tambourine_man 2y agoI feel like there’s an assault going on regarding the usage of the question mark? I see it all over social media? In actual questions, however, it is dismissed altogether? Where are we going with this trend.
- dbcurtis 2y agoDoes anyone know if the Ethernet controller supports EtherCAT?
- commercialnix 2y agoThese could be very interesting devices if they were not infected with binary blobs.
- trs-80 2y agoYou are not wrong. However x86 is dead to me for having a BIOS level backdoor built in that you can't get rid of (probably; yes I know about ME Cleaner). Not to mention Intel sat on their laurels for years. ARM are far from perfect, but maybe some competition gets things progressing again.
- mrandish 2y agoAnother option if you need single threaded performance along with decent graphics is used corporate mini PCs with Ryzen 5 Pro 2400G CPU from HP, Dell and Lenovo. These are just starting to hit four years since first volume availability this Fall so corporate fleets are increasingly being recycled on eBay. They're already down to around $100 delivered with SSD and Win10 Pro installed and prices should fall even further in coming months as supply increases. These are terrific for retro emulation as they can easily handle emulating everything up to and including PS2 and Gamecube at 60+ fps (with upscaling too). Toss in an old 2TB HD and it'll hold a library with many of the greatest games ever made that'll take a lifetime to play. Also, don't forget to check out the huge variety of community mods, HD texture packs, cheats and fan translations now available. Around our house we're pretty much opting out of the DLC, multi-service-login-required, 100GB-bloated, DRM hellscape that much of current gaming is devolving into and actually enjoying it a lot more.
- mvkel 2y agoFantastic idea. Any specific models I should search for on eBay?
- close04 2y agoAn HP EliteDesk 705 G4 (I can see some under 100EUR) or Lenovo ThinkCenter M715q Gen2. Both have the slightly lower clocked but lower TDP 2400GE.

- theshrike79 2y agoIsn't that a full-ass PC with a DVD drive and all?
- hamandcheese 2y agoI'm super glad to see an x86 hardware WITH PoE as an option. That seems to be a niche almost exclusively found on arm boards, but OS selection kinda sucks for Arm SoCs (at least the OS I care about, NixOS, doesn't have very good out of the box support for raspberry pi 5 yet).
- deleted 2y ago[deleted]
- pulse7 2y agoThe main advantage of Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller on Radxa X4 board is that they can now use the Raspberry Pi logo next to the Radxa X4 marketing to increase the awareness that they are "similar to Raspberry Pi". Without RP2040 they wouldn't be allowed to do that...
