Thank you. Maybe you test power consumption of video render.(Know Total Energy cost)
@screwoffYoutube Says:
the Pi V doesnt load a UEFi bios like the N100 ASRock board Does... the ITX has to initialize more hardware thePi cant do.. not a fair cpmparison
@cheapmod Says:
crazy to think how tech savvy and genius can easily be scam. after pi3. no more pi in my desk.
@pweddy1 Says:
The Raspberry Pi has the 40pin header that can do things or cannot do with a PC without add on cards.
I kind of feel like that’s the real reason why you should be buying a raspberry pi. Not just use it as a PC, but for the embedded use cases.
@Andreeeba Says:
N100 is better for mini pc at all
@SP-ny1fk Says:
Would these make god NAS machines?
@wyk72 Says:
Raspberry pi makes VERY little sense at these prices, imo. N100 if far superior in every aspect. Even an old thin client w an outdated AMD quad core is STILL better than a Raspberry 5, I can find Ryzen cpus at that price, with FULL case, FULL power, FULL usb 3.0 ports in a small package with no fans. I can understand the fascination of the "underdog" raspberry, but prices are way too high for such a barebone system.
@yordankrushkov8488 Says:
What's the point of building N100 in such a huge case? Just got one of those mini PC's that are the size of 4 CD boxes and that works perfectly. Bought that after ordering Pi5 that I cancelled because honestly with nvme shield + SSD + charger it's almost the same price for way less performance.
@javabeanz8549 Says:
I think that the ARM systems are cool, but manage servers, so I prefer my workstation to be on the same platform as my servers. However, if some of these hosting companies were renting out ARM VMs, I might try one, just for fun. I do have a couple customers that just have static sites, so serving those wouldn't really matter what platform they were on.
@milosorevic927 Says:
n100 is x86 or arm?
@jakub.anderwald Says:
Amazing. So both don't need any active cooling for these kind of daily tasks?
@TheDezmen3 Says:
N100 mini pc is like 100$ + cheap ram and ssd
@patriskin Says:
A very strange comparison. These devices are designed for different tasks. The main advantage of Raspberry is GPIO. This is usually why people buy Raspberry.There is no point in buying Raspberry as a mini PC. Whoever does this does not understand the purpose of the device. MiniPCs with N100 cannot replace Raspberry because they do not have GPIO, even though they have higher performance.
@grtitann7425 Says:
Awesome video.
I would love a similar video but between AMD 7000 or 8000 mobile chips used in minipcs and apple M3.
@theminer49erz Says:
I have only used the N100 via the Zimaboard. I believe it may be a tad undervolted but to be honest I haven't looked into it. I just know it used a lot less power than your here. It's more in line with the raspberry pie you showed. I have a team group 4TB SATA SSD attached to it for my media. I also run game servers for my daughter and her friends (roblox, Minecraft, etc). It does a good job although only like 10 people are on her private server at any time. I checked the power usage with plex streaming at 1080P on two devices and 9 people on a minecraft server. I was using roughly 80% CPU but was hanging out at 30w with lows around 20w and highs at like <40w. It runs Lunix with Casa OS over it and I use docker apps for those aforementioned programs. I have been happy with it! I even got another to play around with. Maybe for home assistant or something. If you do decide to try one, I highly recommend buying directly from them. It took about a week to get to me, but the site will provide discount codes. The base price for a 8gb ZB, with a NICE miniDP to HDMI, a dual SATA cable, and SSD braket is MUCH lower than just the board on Amazon. They will make more money off of it and Amazon will get nothing! They even provided the best "direct from China" tracking I have ever seen! Usually, it only starts tracking when it gets to the states(at least in my experience), but I got updates all the way through China to my door. Creality is another company I recommend ordering directly from too if you like the 3d printing stuff. It's cheaper than Amazon and each of the 4 things I bought from them were at my house in 3 days(I live in the middle of nowhere). Amazon packages with prime take longer than that. Anyway, nuff blabbing, thanks for the video have a great day!

MiniPC from aliexpress - 120$, (Intel N100, 16 Gb DDR4, 512 Gb SSD m.2 SATA) running Proxmox with 2 active VM's (OMV + HAOS), while idle - 4-6W consuption, 20-25W fully loaded.
@exzld Says:
so weird.. I was researching this type of build with mini itx with n100 a day or 2 ago.. i just got a laptop and I just feel so empty and impulsive.. just got this one to replace another.. thinking of returning both now.. I just... wanna build... thats all I ever seem to do. I cant be satisfied with just an ssd upgrade.. or drivers.. how do I maintain the hobby of near endless tinkering without breaking bank? i cant keep returning stuff, thats just wrong. anyone got ideas other than getting a job for it? I cant work fast and I have a pretty bad temper like Terry a davis if he were a mechanic.
@helloukw Says:
Thank you for another amazing video. It so happens I'm looking for a faster than rPI3 home nas and I was wondering about rPI5 or N100 based PC and this video is enough to make a good impression of both systems.
@patriot0971 Says:
For any compute heavy workloads and projects, N100 boards are a no brainer. Extreme portability, Pi Zero.
@laughingvampire7555 Says:
well video playback depends on lots of stuff, the resolution, the codec, etc
@foxling Says:
It's surprising how fast things start on Pi 5. It would've been great to see how the browser works with many opened tabs.. and come on, no one watches 1080p anymore! You should've run 4k @ 60fps and see what happens. Those synthetic tests and video rendering are useless for a normal person.
@andychow5509 Says:
Incredible. The N100 is up to twice as fast as previous gen atom like jasper lake n4***. So that means basically the pi 5 is as fast as a jasper lake or i3-4010U. I only have access to as raspberry pi 400, but that's so slow. Seems like Raspberry Pi is closing the gap.
@tobiasnickel3750 Says:
it is fun times, today 8gb ram is for small text editing PCs,...
@skrivka Says:
I didn't know Vicente Valtieri is so experienced in computers.
@kiunthmo Says:
I wonder how good the N100 would be with a GPU. Not for gaming but for home AI serving
@o0oBeckyWilliamso0o Says:
This was such a cool review, thank-you, included all the important things like power consumption! I'm upgrading my NAS/media server on ubuntu and am quite excited about the new N100 platform. I'm sure at some point my curiosity is going to draw me to a pi at some point! Also, yes, I found you from Tom's, although I'm already a fan!
@marcel151 Says:
Which case are you using?
@marsovac Says:
The N100 can do 4k/60 HDR video and can also do 4k/HDR transcoding with tonemapping (but I tried the N100 only on windows). The Pi chokes hard on that on Ubuntu. For youtube I tested only 4k video on 1080p screen, and I could not even get HDR to run. They seem products leagues apart to me.
@matthiaspollmann6586 Says:
The n100 systems on Amazon r clearly the best choice in my opinion. U can cat a full mini pc with 16gb ram and 512gb ssd for arround 180 buckets. Performance and software support is also way better
@igorstasenko9183 Says:
why you said RPi 5 don't have video encoding support?
It does. The correct way to say it would be "this video rendering app is not aware of RPI5 hardware video encoding capabilities, and so doesn't using it.

If it is hard to get a virus with Linux x-86 with arm it will be hard
@christiansantiago3007 Says:
Good info. I was using a 4gb pi 4 as a mini PC for a while until the Pi 5 came out and I snagged an 8gb model. It's been great as a general use/media player/ emulation box. Tempted by some of these mini PC setups to run some old games but the Pi 5 with an SSD has been fine for most things.
@MegaMotorchik Says:
Using docker is much easyer with x86 CPU. For home server N100 is no brainer.
@DirkGentley42 Says:
Nice comparison. Thanks. I quite like my setup with a Pi 4 or 5 set up next to my usual pc. I use the Pi for python programming and it's a handy place to test out programs before committing them to the main pc. I appreciate the low power requirement in this set up, it doesn't feel as wasteful as having two pcs running. It helps keep all dev work in one place. Also the Pi is much easier too set up for python. Python on windows can be a pain esp if your GIS (my main work) uses a different version of python. I was pleasantly surprised at the Pi's performance running portion programs and also running QGIS aswell. Another bonus is ease of maintenance (just keep a spare micro ssd), windows, for me, is just getting more and more difficult to maintain, resource hungry and expensive. After many issues recently on laptops and desktops I've got tired of the whole windows cycle and am experimenting with migrating to linux as a main OS. I'll give Ubuntu a shot now, thanks for the idea - I was using zorin on the pc (Very nicely finished OS) but the are a few things that don't quite suit a development environment or the way that i work. Cheers for the vid.
@joelopez7459 Says:
It should be Displayport
@xshadow-0 Says:
I had a Pi5 for a short while and sold it to hell. Completely unusable as a desktop. The Ubuntu UI/DE looked as if it worked at 10-15 FPS...
@narvaeztiamson918 Says:
Pi5 is trash
@systemBuilder Says:
8:00 Already the N100 seems incredibly much slower since it's booting off an SSD with twice the bandwidth (2 PCIe lanes vs. 1 lane) and taking longer ...
@thesprinklerguy2598 Says:
I could never use one as my personal PC.. too slow
@devarionarias Says:
Late to the party, I know. I am both simultaneously amazed at advancements on SBCs and kind of horrified at the thought these may be the wave of the future and push out replaceability and standardization of PC parts. All these new portable GPUs being made really seem to be making small-form factor PCs an affordable option with a lot of flexibility. I love and tinker around with both, so ideally, I'd like to see both options survive, but we'll just have to see what the future holds I guess! Thank you for the performance comparison.
@lennylink8772 Says:
Wasn't the point of the pi to make the price accessible for people worldwide? The price seems to be getting away from them.
@kainenable Says:
I have been running a pi 4 for my nas backup system for 3 years now. It has been surprisingly reliable. I have used 2 external drives that use rsync. Then zero tier and synchthing for offsite backups. Easy peasy and reliable. Cheap to run as well.
@franciscodescalzo6703 Says:
un video muy interesante, gracias.
@davideriksen2434 Says:
i live in canada raspberry pi is way over priced i bought a ace magic n100 mini pc for about the same price 12gb ddr5 ram much better in my opinion
@sativagirl1885 Says:
Some consumers would prefer compute modules on main (carrier) boards.
Some company must be able to build a PSU the size if a SBC
Some vendor will re-discover the rich audio quality of glowing vaccuum tubes.
Some day, but not this year. 😞

pi5 vs n100 vs ebay Inspiron 530s

I bought intel n100 nuc from aliexpress for my son for 100$. That's the bargain.
