Summary

The Zema Cube 2 is a compact home server and storage system from Ice Whale that represents a significant upgrade from its predecessor, the Zema Q1, with a more powerful Intel i3 processor. The device comes in standard and pro versions, offering improved performance with six cores and the ability to boost up to 4.4 GHz, making it more suitable for home lab environments and running containers and virtual machines. Compared to the previous N100 chip, the new i3 provides more than double the single-core performance and nearly triple the multi-core score, making it a more capable and efficient solution for self-hosting and personal computing needs.
