The n100 is a very capable chip for its efficiency.

Weak also implies low power consumption. I'm planning to use this to run a few services (Proxmox as OS, Uptime Kuma, Ntfy, Wireguard) as a server in my networking closet and the price couldn't be beat, especially since I have some spare ram and ssd that was unused.

Was either this or was Raspberry Pi 5, and this ended up a better cost/performance for me after considering the extra accessories I'd need for the PI.

N100 Passmark score is 5555, that's basically an Intel 7th gen i5, minus 60w. For low powered mini machine it's not bad at all. Sure someone could buy a dell Optiplex ultra small form factor pc but they would be missing out on some modern features and considerably more power consumption

I'm not even sure what you are saying, but for anyone else curious, there's no reason to jump to DDR5 and the $25 or so price premium; performance is about the same between both.

Many N100 based PCs with DDR5 8gb/16gb ram included, cheaper than this....As other people already mentioned. there is 10%~25% performance improved for DDR5 ...
If you want to buy new PC, go with DDR5,

Dear lord that is SO WRONG. Just, NO!

Anyone in this thread: Ignore LavenderStag5992. His posts are _completely_ wrong.

And DO update your BIOS/uEFI firmware when you can. Not saying it's a monthly thing, but do update it from time to time, whether a Dell or a homemade Gigabyte/etc. device.
Well hold on, a lot of BIOS updates have a disclaimer to only update if you are experiencing an issue that the update will address since an update can introduce new issues, so LavenderStag5992 is not completely wrong. However his general stance of not updating to address a vulnerability is mostly wrong.

True, but I'd trust a machine from MSI over any of the no-name stuff out there. At least I can be reasonably confident that the bios doesn't come with malware etc...

Can the N100 take advantage of the "10%~25% performance improved for DDR5"? Benchmarks to prove that?

For Plex, Intel (like this n100) is exactly what you want. Ryzen can't even come close to handling 4K. The n100 doesn't even blink.

Vendors do that so they cause people to pause before updating.

There have been so many security vulnerabilities and issues in the past five years that it's madness not to update.

That said, the risk for Joe home user is still pretty low.
