    It’s closer than it once was. But a Pi 5 running at full pelt is still nowhere near an N100 running at full pelt. In the comments, the author says that the power consumption of the N100 during the benchmarks was 3x that of the Raspberry Pi 5.

    N100s have their place for sure, but for simple home labbing, I think they’re overkill. But if you’re running an Arr stack, it’s definitely worth considering.

      But the N100 running at full pelt will be running way more intensive applications than Pi 5. In everyday scenario, that means you can run more applications comfortably without going “full pelt”. AFAIK

        I’m unsure. But I don’t think the N100 runs at reduced capacity. The benchmark testing doesn’t suggest so anyway. So it’s either full power or nothing.
