The n100 is an intel board and all the parts used in the cheap nucs I have tried are supported on quite old mainline kernels.
At about twice the price for just the pi, I got a n100 machine (with a case and power supply and 500mb ssd and 16gb ram). Draws about 10 watts, is faster on every axis, and once you setup the pi with a case/psu it’s very close to the same price.
- mikae1 2y ago> Draws about 10 watts Idling?
- mikae1 2y agoOK. EU prices seems to be at least two times higher for a N100 mini PC. Energy consumption seems to be 2x-3x higher. The RPi5 idles at ~3.5w and the N100 at 10w. But yeah, the N100 is faster. You need a power brick for the N100 box. Depends on what you need. The N100 isn't always "better".
- danielheath 2y ago10 watts isn't idling, that's working. The chip has a TDP of 6 watts, but the RAM uses some too. I turn mine down to a lower clock speed, which takes off about 3w. > You need a power brick for the N100 box. Yes, but it was included (along with the case) for $106 USD, delivered. Granted, that was on special, but AliExpress has sales that get them down to $115 USD pretty regularly.
- VBprogrammer 2y agoI find it quite interesting that we're beyond the point of having an Intel processor being a massive advantage. I think 10 years ago most people would have jumped at an x86 processor with similar specs to the equivalent Raspberry Pi.
- danielheath 2y agoAs someone who runs a lot of ARM stuff... I still find things which aren't packaged for ARM/linux with surprising frequency.
