Why aren't poorfags raving about this chip? Seems pretty solid if you pair it with a decent SSD.
>>
>>101174883
$30-$50 used prodesk/elite desk

N100/N200 are still $100-$300 tier, which maybe fine for new devices if you've got excellent amount of money to throw, but if you're poor fag, you optimize for "good enough" for the best bang for buck, which is going to be a used one.

If the poors want full desktop, there's even workstations where you can pair with haswell Xeons and get 14+ core CPUs for ~$100. Then pair it with 64GB ram and $100 1070. All for ~total of ~$250, which will shit on any of these N200 chip pcs.

>>101174939
I like the efficiency of these chips. Minisforum released a small n100 with PoE. Not very upgradeble with soldered 8 Gigs but perfect for my use case as a streaming client.

But I agree that used gear is a better budget choice. If you go for a n100/n200/n300, look for one with DDR5 so you at least get some form of dual channel operation with 1 memory channel

These N100/N200/N300 quadcores wont be a match for haswell Xeons by any stretch.
>>
>>101175065
>>101175082
thats why I still kinda want a N300. TDP bumped up to 15 watts but it has 8 cores. Could be pretty good with a 48 gig stick of DDR5, but extremely poor value for money.
>>
>>101174883
It's way too fucking expensive and scarce for what it does. Given it is socketed, it is also extremely limited in versatility and expansion. If they sold this thing as a separate chip that goes into a fully featured ATX board I'd buy such a system in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, even the N100 seems almost impossible to find at times. The N200/N300 are just non existent.
>>
>>101175065
YouTube's fault, old Passmark 1000/2000 score CPUs can run YouTube. Same goes for shit like Discord spyware, it also runs poorly.
>>
>>101175111
If they bump it to ~30W then its an attractive option, but it needs to be below $150 as a system (with upgradeable dual ddr5 ram slots), dual nvme. Otherwise, I dont think 15tdp is enough to match Xeons. 30TDP with 8 cores will prob get very close.
>>
>>101175082
Now show the idle power of the Xeons versus these CPUs which should still be called Celerons.
>>
>>101175157
Doesn't matter, these quadcores wont be able to run any of the modern demanding games. The low TDP CPUs cant sustain anything.
>>
>>101174987
Because the all in one boxes that have these things are meh in upgrades.

I can go on Ebay, grab a Optiplex and shove in a 3050 and BTFO of these things for about the same cost.

>muh 6 watts
Yeah these are good for little remote boxes while I travel and NAS at home but who cares about that shit. Power isn't that expensive
>>
>>101175156
Biggest issue imo are the 7 PCIe Gen3 lanes and how motherboard makers use them. These CPUs are pretty amazing for light virtualization but connectivity is an issue. 8 efficient cores with 48 gigs of DDR5 can get some stuff done. But give me at least a x4 slot and x1 in mATX so I can actually use some good expansion cards.
>>
>>101175218
Oh they limit the PCIe? Damn.
>>
>>101175172
>wont be able to run any of the modern demanding games
Not like much past 2016 is worth playing anyway. It's all unoptimized shit anyway. People exaggerate the demands as well. If Haswell/Piledriver users are still fine then so is this laptop chip.

Yeah. There is an Asrock mATX board with x2 and x1 slot but "only" DDR4, so 32 gig max. Should be pretty efficient with a pico PSU
>>
>>101175228
Most all the soldered CPU's are short on PCIE lanes as all they have to worry about is some NVME/n.2 slots that really won't ever reach full bandwidth.

These are really only good if you just want something new for an HTPC, NAS, or remote desktop box. If you bring up gayming these are a huge waste of cash due to the workarounds you need to 'upgrade' them in any capacity.

3050 new is 175 on amazon
A Optiplex with 16GB ram+decently new i5 or i3 + SSD to house it ~150-200

most these all in ones like you posted are ~300-350 and limited in scope
>>
>>101175229
Haswell isn't Piledriver. Haswell is Ryzen 2-3 level performance. My friend had brand new Ryzen system, I built a Haswell shits for $200 at a the time. You dont seem to understand the power of these server cores that are being sold for $5-$30. The only expensive part of buying these are buying new motherboards, but if you are fine with older workstations that sell for ~$100, the performance absolutely claps. Those also come with quad channel ram as well.

It absolutely is, besides logically speaking there is ZERO reason why you need be using 100+ watts reading your emails, files, or browsing the internet. Drowning in inefficiency.

That was exactly one of my use cases. N100 with 4 nvme Gen3x1 + 10Gig ethernet as an all flash NAS, speeds should match up nicely.
>>
>>101175253
But you know it's true, the state of AAA slop right now is just not exciting. At best you have people pushing the limits in Minecraft or making path tracing mods in retro titles.

Less than 9 cent per kWh is not expensive in the slightest, hell even when I lived in arizona the most it was ended up was 18c kWh.

Most systems at idle don't break over 60, what the hell kind of shit are you running?

>>101175292
Idle browsing/watching movies is prob ~30-40watts. Its not that difficult given how the turbo scaling functions. Power is very cheap.
>>
>>101175281
He's talking about consumer desktop Haswell chips, not HEDT or server.
>>
>>101174982
Per core maybe, but the N200 is extremely power limited. 6W is just the power limit, not the power at its performance limit.
>>
>>101175343
Well the original discussion is Haswell server chips. Those go for $5-30 on ebay. The performance you get is the discussion here. Not the desktop variant.

But if it was the desktop haswell quadcore vs this n100/200/etc quadcores, then the performance difference probably favors the newer cpus imo. However haswell quadcores aren't really viable today, so its useless to discuss

>>101175342
Yes, but also highly dependent on hardware. I actually switched to my Deskmini as my main system since I mostly watch Youtube and shitpost. Sucks down between 10-13 idle and 30 watching 4k. Also 2 nvmes and 2 SSDs in there, using it as a flash NAS on the side but would like a dedicated system for this. My main rig needs about 50 idle with a dedicated GPU and about 65-70 when watching Youtube.
>>
>>101175376
Why dont you fucks just buy solar panels. If the power doubles every year or so, it means you pay for the solar panels fully in few years. Further if you buy it and finance it, the monthly finance bills would likely be lower than monthly grid bill from before you bought it, so it absolutely makes sense if you live in a house
>>
>>101175333
If you're running a high performance rig or just using stuff from the early 2010s, a CPU + GPU + motherboard + memory + storage drives + fans will easily suck up 50-100 watts idling these days. Especially if you use Ryzen. Ideally most desktops should be idling around half of what they do right now.
>>
>>101175393
I actually was thinking about that. Feeding them straight into my UPS. Should be enough to run an N100 for a while

I really wish they made one of these with a single P-core attached. They're already better than anyone really gives them credit for, being able to spool to up the big core (which is actually more energy efficient) for demanding tasks would be huge, especially for single threaded performance.

True. I'm the Xeon guy but I also have a tiny cheap $30 skylake mini pc from HP for most of the daily usage. I only use my Xeons currently for running some AI or some games that I play few times a week. So mostly its in deep sleep mode.

My HP mini itself only prob consumes ~10w idle or so. The ideal next upgrade is a 8+core mini PC for ~$100 that supports a bit of pcie slot for multiple nvmes/eGPU. Then it would be perfect for my setup and I fan probably finally get rid of my Xeon.

Intel always gimp something so they can do market segmentation.
Atom based Celeron chips sound like they'd be great for NAS devices. That's why intel gimped them to 2 SATA ports.

Must be Hoover Dam or some shit. Average price in the US is 0.15, power is super cheap where I live and it's 0.12. If you're in the US there's no way you're paying 55 cents per kWh, I think you mean 0.55

The whole appeal of x86 is things like GTA V and this thing is dog doo at that. It's not even on par with a GT 1030, considered pretty low end by 2024 standards.

Also intel's TDP is completely fucking worthless. Nobody knows what it means. This chip probably consumes like 30 watts under load.
>>
>>101175646
Most N100 boards don't have much SATA either, but at least you can get more ports by using one of the M.2s

I don't know, my ChinkPad Yoga 11e's Celeron consumes little more than a few watts under load and less than 1/10th of a watt under idle.

You have to run something power intensive to find out a chip's power consumption. Say encoding 4K video with x265 for an hour or so.

Looks totally normal to me, but you should absolutely measure at the wall. A spinning HDD can easily pull 8 watts, same with a few fans running. I measured my 5800X3D + 4070 at about 50 idle at the wall, with a few SSDs and 5 fans, RGB off. But a light workload sends it up to 65 pretty quickly

So what unless you're europoor faggot paying 55c a kWh you're looking at maybe 12-15 USD a month running that PC?
>>
>>101176017
Well, totally normal for pretty inefficient parts. Both the 3700X and 3060Ti are not real power savers, and with multiple HDDs you are easily breaking 100+ actually.

The GPU drawing this much actually feels like a driver issue, although I only mostly saw this with AMD cards. Maybe try DDU and reinstall.

Also you can google some guides on undervolting but I doubt there is much room to go lower
