Now .... I've installed Windows 24H2 on my PC's I have problems with access to my NAS.
Si I think about building my own NAS based on the RK3588 board shown here ....
Can you show us how to do this ??

qualcomms snapdragon effed up badly, was overhyped and underperfomed for a not really competitive price....still with fears of compatibility issues....they have big shoes to fill if they want to break x86/x64.... apple is showing that it can be done /recently leaked m4 looks impressive/, china has a big opportunity to jump on the ship and make the tech affordable/cheap, using some form of linux it could break not only traditional cpus rule but also wipe out windows as OS on consumer devices

Молодец. Отличное видео.😊
@creajohan57 Says:
AS usual a very good video. And Im glad that you do powertests aswell, as electrical power gets more and more expensive... in the whole of europe... (im from sweden)
Note: Perharps the rk3588 is a bit OLD nowadays though. What happend to the arm system on a chip systems development, theye'we seen to just dont deliver any good new say 16 core arm sbc soc's alike Apple... What is happening. KDE is not the lightest desktop in the worls to run on a sbc with arm...
Suggestion: Perhaps a video on different linux desktop tops such as cinnamon, ubuntu, kde, mate lxde lxqt etc... that would be interesting...
OHH... THANKS AGAINS FOR YOUR VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND VIDEOS Chris!!! FANTSASTIC!😀

The arm sbc is the perfect home/small business router, firewall, NAS and DVR and it can do digital signage on three screens possibly simultaneously.
@msn3wolf Says:
I have a question regarding the tests. The synthetic tests show that the Rock5 system is slightly faster than the N100 system, however the real application tests shows that the N100 system is almost twice as performant than the Rock5 one. Why is that? Could it be that the applications used are optimized for x86_64 systems? It would make sense since the availability of ARM desktop systems is fairly recent. I wonder how the applications comparison would be in a more ARM optimized environment like Android. Could you test Android-x86 vs Android-Arm applications on the on Rock5/N100 systems?

IS it possible to run those machines with an android OS?

I'm looking to upgrade my system. Being on 12 volt solar my reason is saying ARM but my heart is saying Intel. I would have to try hard to justify nearly 2 amps but best case my guess it would be consuming on average more like 1.

The Rock 5 power supply must be really inefficient because the Orange Pi 5 SBC uses the same 3588 SoC but it only idles at around 2 watts.

@jpdj2715 Says:
Chris, having watched your RISC V videos, did you have a chance already to play with the cluster board and (seven) Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A modules on it?
It seems like a nice proposition to have a mini-ITX multiprocessor computer.
Question (1) is if there's any intelligence in the backplane.
Then the next question (2), as it can run a version of Linux, is if it can behave like one multiprocessor computer.
And finally, (3) as there are micro-kernel OS around that sort of removed the performance/throughput disadvantage relative to monoliths, is there anything micro-kernel you would run on these kind of systems? And (4) would a micro-kernel facilitate other "processor model" [a] software deployments?
As to your definition of the "RISC" concept, while your videos to large extent may be an oratio pro domo, there will be some naives among the viewers. For these, the definition may send the wrong message. Thoughts go back to the 80s when Intel CPU fanboys shouted to the Motorola fanboys that their Intel processors ran at a higher clock speed and the Motorola folk would reply that theirs did more work per clock-cycle (as it had more complex instructions). It is easier to make a processor run fast at simple instructions, yes. And in the case of RISC that's what is done. It's a bit like sensing an SQRT calculation to an FPU and having to wait for the precise result to come back. It's faster to do it in 4 instructions on the ALU. Still, it needs 4 instructions to do the same thing, rather than 1.
A very fundamental question I did not see answered in the RISC V videos anywhere, and comparisons with ARM, is if the low power consumption of the ARM, that it had from the first prototype out of the fab/foundry, is because ARM (company) made such an electronically efficient logic design. Or is it because the processor was RISC.
And this triggers another idea for a future video maybe. Most people have zero idea how chips become what they are: logical design of electronic circuits, simulation of the design in software, conversion into a physical design, evaluation of the physical design (and going back to logical design if there are issues), printing of the physical design. The last step being done with printers that will cost about 1 billion $/£/€ today - with a few of those printers already being able to go as fine as steps of 3 nano-meter (at work in TSMC).
[a] in software analysis, the "processor model" describes how software (components) is/are deployed across multiple physical processors.

I think I would prefer the RK3588.

@xshadow-0 Says:
People say that the N100 completely crushes the RK3588 thanks to the software compatibility, but they forget there's a number of applications that require various embedded functionalities that the N100 doesn't have - such as GPIO support (with various communication buses), CSI camera support or even the built-in NPU. That's completely non-existent on the N100, where you're forced to use external MCUs for GPIO, external NPUs/TPUs/GPUs for AI acceleration and are limited to USB and HDMI when it comes to cameras and displays. N100 computers or SBCs are great for casual users, who simply want to have a low-power desktop or server, but for makers I believe they're out of the question. If you wanna tinker a little with simple robotics, internet of things or edge AI, the RK3588 wins. The only thing we need now is good software support, which, I admit, sucks very much (with the exception of Joshua's work).
@ABouchez Says:
SInce such NICs are fine home servers too, a network Samba test could have help. I guess the RK3588 would have rocked here, because of its much better network interface.

@slowlymakingsmoke Says:
That was a great example of real world vs synthetic tests. Just shows how software maturity and optimisation for a specific platform can have a massive impact.
@rcdiekin Says:
nice video again chris. its kio on my other account. I'm not surprised the n100 beat the rk3588 a lower end x86 can compete and beat an arm based unit. the architectural designs of the chips are not equal in terms of performance in regards to ghz and power. x86 handles more complex computations and arm is simple. I've shown a few videos showing how real world emulation like ps2 on the radxa x2l kicked the crap out of pi5 and orange pi 5 in a linux environment in regards to emulation and other various tests. the geek bench scores and other measurable results mean nothing. great video again as always. I've been trying to get the word out to people that these sbcs by just hardware don't mean anything if its not paired with a great os to compliment it. these real world test results are the best way to decide whats what
@mamdouh-Tawadros Says:
Thank you for the interesting video. But I wonder if we are comparing apples with oranges. Ubuntu is not the same, one for arm, the second for x86! Besides everything else is different.
@voneschenbachmusic Says:
Amazing how far both platforms have come in terms of performance, efficiency and low cost. The 4K video playback in particular was amazing!
@extremelydave Says:
You're going to make a me move to a mini ITX and Linux yet...I think it might be time to replace my 7 year old NUC computer that has served me extremely well, but 4K is making it chock these days....another smashing video Mr Barnett.
@anon_y_mousse Says:
This pretty much matches my expectations. Choosing one architecture type over the other really depends on how impatient you are. RISC-based architectures are generally slower and partly because they use less power. In a lot of these graphics capabilities tests, more cores is an advantage, but clearly a faster chip will overpower that advantage as shown here. So it'd be nice to see a test with an older x86 chip that more closely matches the speed and core count of the RK3588 and see how that changes the result. However, given the low requirements of startup processes, the higher core count gives an advantage here. Although, once optimizations have caught up, maybe RISC-based architectures will beat x86, and that would be interesting.
@LaurentCourtin Says:
I have the feeling that the Rock 5 ITX would make a quite good NAS/server motherboard. Not so sure how reliable it would be on the long term though.
@ZoraMarlowe Says:
There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story.

ran glmark2 myself out of curiosity. I scored 8792 points. Core i5-4590 paired with GTX 1050 (non-Ti) 4GB. It's not mini-ITX, but it is small form factor. 10 year old platform, with nearly 8 year old GPU tech, as well.

x86/PC: take the iso, boot, install.

Excellent, thanks. Very comprehensive. Would have been interesting, if possible, to see boot times if somehow can eliminate the bios/mbd bootstrap delays. I think the N100 supposed NVME 4 channel, did I see that, I would have liked to see the speed comparison with the drive in that slot vs. the 2 channel. Lastly, would have found the speed difference for the cpus if the RK test had only specified 4 cpus, just as a comparison.
But understand there are innumerable permutations and combinations of tests that always _could_ have been performed... :)

I don't understand the point of comparing different gpus when the title is about CPUs
