budget Intel CPUs are FINALLY awesome.

this right here is the minus form u00 L this right here is the minus form u00 L but this isn't necessarily the main but this isn't necessarily the main but this isn't necessarily the main point to this video more of a vehicle to point to this video more of a vehicle to point to this video more of a vehicle to check out Intel and their new budget check out Intel and their new budget check out Intel and their new budget line of CPUs when thinking of getting a line of CPUs when thinking of getting a line of CPUs when thinking of getting a budget computer or laptop you may be budget computer or laptop you may be budget computer or laptop you may be thinking of something like a Chromebook thinking of something like a Chromebook thinking of something like a Chromebook or something like this this is the HP or something like this this is the HP or something like this this is the HP Mini 110- 3030 NR and I have featured Mini 110- 3030 NR and I have featured Mini 110- 3030 NR and I have featured this laptop in the past as probably the this laptop in the past as probably the this laptop in the past as probably the worst laptop that has ever been worst laptop that has ever been worst laptop that has ever been manufactured it shipped with an Intel manufactured it shipped with an Intel manufactured it shipped with an Intel adom adom adom n450 a single GB of RAM and a 32bit n450 a single GB of RAM and a 32bit n450 a single GB of RAM and a 32bit version of Windows 7 even though the CPU version of Windows 7 even though the CPU version of Windows 7 even though the CPU is technically a 64-bit architecture is technically a 64-bit architecture is technically a 64-bit architecture this thing was essentially unusable and this thing was essentially unusable and this thing was essentially unusable and that is what many people think about or that is what many people think about or that is what many people think about or at least think about the experience of at least think about the experience of at least think about the experience of when looking at lower end machines and when looking at lower end machines and when looking at lower end machines and after playing with both this Intel n100 after playing with both this Intel n100 after playing with both this Intel n100 Mini PC as well as a n65 Intel laptop I Mini PC as well as a n65 Intel laptop I Mini PC as well as a n65 Intel laptop I can say that this is simply not the case can say that this is simply not the case can say that this is simply not the case anymore for several Generations Intel's anymore for several Generations Intel's anymore for several Generations Intel's low power chips have either been Celeron low power chips have either been Celeron low power chips have either been Celeron or Pentium silver with the occasional or Pentium silver with the occasional or Pentium silver with the occasional atom release mixed in there however atom release mixed in there however atom release mixed in there however Intel announced in 2022 that both the Intel announced in 2022 that both the Intel announced in 2022 that both the Celeron and Pentium brands are going to Celeron and Pentium brands are going to Celeron and Pentium brands are going to be retiring in favor for their new Intel be retiring in favor for their new Intel be retiring in favor for their new Intel processor branding including the n95 and processor branding including the n95 and processor branding including the n95 and n100 CPUs so first let's talk about n100 CPUs so first let's talk about n100 CPUs so first let's talk about power these are some of the most power these are some of the most power these are some of the most efficient processors that Intel has ever efficient processors that Intel has ever efficient processors that Intel has ever released with a base power consumption released with a base power consumption released with a base power consumption under lad lo as low as 6 watts and when under lad lo as low as 6 watts and when under lad lo as low as 6 watts and when it comes to this entire machine I was

it comes to this entire machine I was it comes to this entire machine I was actually able to test this and when actually able to test this and when actually able to test this and when plugged in on idle it was indeed plugged in on idle it was indeed plugged in on idle it was indeed hovering around those 6 Watts but when I hovering around those 6 Watts but when I hovering around those 6 Watts but when I went ahead and ran a intensive Benchmark went ahead and ran a intensive Benchmark went ahead and ran a intensive Benchmark for this example it was geekbench it for this example it was geekbench it for this example it was geekbench it then pulled around 12 to 14 watts and then pulled around 12 to 14 watts and then pulled around 12 to 14 watts and this makes some pretty good for use this makes some pretty good for use this makes some pretty good for use cases like median file servers where cases like median file servers where cases like median file servers where blazing fast performance isn't really blazing fast performance isn't really blazing fast performance isn't really necessary but needed to run the surfaces necessary but needed to run the surfaces necessary but needed to run the surfaces all the time while not having to worry all the time while not having to worry all the time while not having to worry about a huge power bill and the cool about a huge power bill and the cool about a huge power bill and the cool thing about these guys is it only uses thing about these guys is it only uses thing about these guys is it only uses efficiency cores if you've been looking efficiency cores if you've been looking efficiency cores if you've been looking at some of the newer Intel CPUs you at some of the newer Intel CPUs you at some of the newer Intel CPUs you probably know that they have a number of probably know that they have a number of probably know that they have a number of performance cores and a couple performance cores and a couple performance cores and a couple efficiency cores where the efficiency efficiency cores where the efficiency efficiency cores where the efficiency cores kind of take over most of the cores kind of take over most of the cores kind of take over most of the workload when it's not doing anything workload when it's not doing anything workload when it's not doing anything intensive but then the performance cores intensive but then the performance cores intensive but then the performance cores take over and it actually is Happ to do take over and it actually is Happ to do take over and it actually is Happ to do something like render a video or something like render a video or something like render a video or whatever these Intel processors only whatever these Intel processors only whatever these Intel processors only have the efficiency cores and these have the efficiency cores and these have the efficiency cores and these ecores don't have hyperthreading so they ecores don't have hyperthreading so they ecores don't have hyperthreading so they don't provide two vcpus per core like don't provide two vcpus per core like don't provide two vcpus per core like most of the other processors but with most of the other processors but with most of the other processors but with that said hyperthreading doesn't that said hyperthreading doesn't that said hyperthreading doesn't actually add like double the performance actually add like double the performance actually add like double the performance of a CPU which is important to note but of a CPU which is important to note but of a CPU which is important to note but those vcores are definitely helpful when those vcores are definitely helpful when those vcores are definitely helpful when doing something like compiling software doing something like compiling software doing something like compiling software or rendering video but if you're not or rendering video but if you're not or rendering video but if you're not planning to max out the CPU with heavy planning to max out the CPU with heavy planning to max out the CPU with heavy computations you probably won't miss computations you probably won't miss computations you probably won't miss hyperthreading with that I did kind of hyperthreading with that I did kind of hyperthreading with that I did kind of run some just general things to see how run some just general things to see how run some just general things to see how this little mini PC performed and the this little mini PC performed and the this little mini PC performed and the very first thing in Microsoft Edge I very first thing in Microsoft Edge I very first thing in Microsoft Edge I loaded up the crab Rave video video to loaded up the crab Rave video video to loaded up the crab Rave video video to test its 4K and lower resolution test its 4K and lower resolution test its 4K and lower resolution performance at 4K it did run but it was

performance at 4K it did run but it was performance at 4K it did run but it was a little stuttery here and there but I a little stuttery here and there but I a little stuttery here and there but I did go ahead and drop it down one notch did go ahead and drop it down one notch did go ahead and drop it down one notch to 1440p and in this case it ran with no to 1440p and in this case it ran with no to 1440p and in this case it ran with no noticeable stutter but in the actual noticeable stutter but in the actual noticeable stutter but in the actual information there was still a couple information there was still a couple information there was still a couple dropped frames here and there from there dropped frames here and there from there dropped frames here and there from there I loaded up and I didn't have any I loaded up and I didn't have any I loaded up and I didn't have any issues at all I ran a typical lava issues at all I ran a typical lava issues at all I ran a typical lava render and it actually rendered out in a render and it actually rendered out in a render and it actually rendered out in a fairly good time and then lastly fairly good time and then lastly fairly good time and then lastly something it didn't do very well on and something it didn't do very well on and something it didn't do very well on and this isn't really a huge surprise is this isn't really a huge surprise is this isn't really a huge surprise is rendering out a video from Kaden live a rendering out a video from Kaden live a rendering out a video from Kaden live a free and open source video editor the free and open source video editor the free and open source video editor the cut video that I rendered out was just cut video that I rendered out was just cut video that I rendered out was just about 6 minutes and it took 19 minutes about 6 minutes and it took 19 minutes about 6 minutes and it took 19 minutes to render out a 1080p video so 3 to four to render out a 1080p video so 3 to four to render out a 1080p video so 3 to four times the length of the actual cut to times the length of the actual cut to times the length of the actual cut to get that rendered out but the question get that rendered out but the question get that rendered out but the question you're probably asking yourself is can you're probably asking yourself is can you're probably asking yourself is can this little thing game the answer is not this little thing game the answer is not this little thing game the answer is not really it's not what it was built for really it's not what it was built for really it's not what it was built for now I did go ahead and make some now I did go ahead and make some now I did go ahead and make some assumptions if somebody is going to try assumptions if somebody is going to try assumptions if somebody is going to try to game on this device I would assume to game on this device I would assume to game on this device I would assume that they're probably trying to play that they're probably trying to play that they're probably trying to play something like Minecraft or fortnite in something like Minecraft or fortnite in something like Minecraft or fortnite in Minecraft I was generally running around Minecraft I was generally running around Minecraft I was generally running around the 20 frames per second Mark but with the 20 frames per second Mark but with the 20 frames per second Mark but with some tweaking in the settings I had it some tweaking in the settings I had it some tweaking in the settings I had it steady around 30 frames per second so I steady around 30 frames per second so I steady around 30 frames per second so I would say it's playable for Minecraft would say it's playable for Minecraft would say it's playable for Minecraft but it's definitely not a great but it's definitely not a great but it's definitely not a great experience now fortnite was a nightmare experience now fortnite was a nightmare experience now fortnite was a nightmare I didn't even try to get a FPS reading I didn't even try to get a FPS reading I didn't even try to get a FPS reading it was so bad I could barely tell what it was so bad I could barely tell what it was so bad I could barely tell what was going on and that's with it was going on and that's with it was going on and that's with it defaulting to the lowest textur settings defaulting to the lowest textur settings defaulting to the lowest textur settings granted I will know I was able to granted I will know I was able to granted I will know I was able to actually get a kill so I mean that was actually get a kill so I mean that was actually get a kill so I mean that was pretty cool now a reason for this and

pretty cool now a reason for this and pretty cool now a reason for this and something to be aware of is that these n something to be aware of is that these n something to be aware of is that these n series chips have a single channel of series chips have a single channel of series chips have a single channel of ram along with integrated Graphics that ram along with integrated Graphics that ram along with integrated Graphics that means that bandwidth available to the means that bandwidth available to the means that bandwidth available to the memory used for the GPU is limited memory used for the GPU is limited memory used for the GPU is limited compared to a system with two or more compared to a system with two or more compared to a system with two or more RAM channels so these aren't really RAM channels so these aren't really RAM channels so these aren't really ideal for low power gaming but again ideal for low power gaming but again ideal for low power gaming but again it's no big deal if you're doing basic it's no big deal if you're doing basic it's no big deal if you're doing basic light work like web browsing or running light work like web browsing or running light work like web browsing or running a light lightweight media server I will a light lightweight media server I will a light lightweight media server I will note that other YouTubers have had note that other YouTubers have had note that other YouTubers have had success using this for emulation whether success using this for emulation whether success using this for emulation whether that be Retro Gaming or even some PS2 that be Retro Gaming or even some PS2 that be Retro Gaming or even some PS2 gaming and that might be something I go gaming and that might be something I go gaming and that might be something I go ahead and check out in a dedicated video ahead and check out in a dedicated video ahead and check out in a dedicated video on this channel so do make sure you on this channel so do make sure you on this channel so do make sure you subscribe and ring that Bell so now what subscribe and ring that Bell so now what subscribe and ring that Bell so now what we're going to do is talk about we're going to do is talk about we're going to do is talk about performance and benchmarking I ran performance and benchmarking I ran performance and benchmarking I ran geekbench on this machine the n95 geekbench on this machine the n95 geekbench on this machine the n95 machine as well as another machine that machine as well as another machine that machine as well as another machine that I have this right here is a geekon PC I have this right here is a geekon PC I have this right here is a geekon PC that's the mini Air1 that one has the that's the mini Air1 that one has the that's the mini Air1 that one has the n595 which came out in the first quarter n595 which came out in the first quarter n595 which came out in the first quarter of of of 2021 the n100 and n95 came out first 2021 the n100 and n95 came out first 2021 the n100 and n95 came out first quarter of 2023 so it's about a 2year quarter of 2023 so it's about a 2year quarter of 2023 so it's about a 2year apart difference while these Celeron PCS apart difference while these Celeron PCS apart difference while these Celeron PCS are not going to be nearly as power are not going to be nearly as power are not going to be nearly as power efficient for the performance you're efficient for the performance you're efficient for the performance you're going to be getting right here's a chart going to be getting right here's a chart going to be getting right here's a chart for very comparable models of the for very comparable models of the for very comparable models of the Celeron and new Intel processor line we Celeron and new Intel processor line we Celeron and new Intel processor line we can see when it comes to cores and can see when it comes to cores and can see when it comes to cores and threads they are all the same at four threads they are all the same at four threads they are all the same at four cores four threads and we can see we're cores four threads and we can see we're cores four threads and we can see we're getting just just about half a Giger of getting just just about half a Giger of getting just just about half a Giger of a performance boost going to the new a performance boost going to the new a performance boost going to the new CPUs as well as about 2 megabytes of CPUs as well as about 2 megabytes of CPUs as well as about 2 megabytes of additional cach with various cache types

additional cach with various cache types additional cach with various cache types now TDP between the 5095 and the n95 are now TDP between the 5095 and the n95 are now TDP between the 5095 and the n95 are the same same with the n5100 and n100 the same same with the n5100 and n100 the same same with the n5100 and n100 but with the same TDP you have the but with the same TDP you have the but with the same TDP you have the additional performance boost and when I additional performance boost and when I additional performance boost and when I say performance boost we can see this say performance boost we can see this say performance boost we can see this chart right here this is the geekbench 6 chart right here this is the geekbench 6 chart right here this is the geekbench 6 results the only one I wasn't able to results the only one I wasn't able to results the only one I wasn't able to run myself was the n5100 I pulled that run myself was the n5100 I pulled that run myself was the n5100 I pulled that result from geekbench directly and we result from geekbench directly and we result from geekbench directly and we can see over a 500 Point score can see over a 500 Point score can see over a 500 Point score difference from the old to the new difference from the old to the new difference from the old to the new generation and over a th000 point score generation and over a th000 point score generation and over a th000 point score difference between the generations for difference between the generations for difference between the generations for the multicore performance and of course the multicore performance and of course the multicore performance and of course across the board the 95s are going to be across the board the 95s are going to be across the board the 95s are going to be a little bit more powerful than the 100s a little bit more powerful than the 100s a little bit more powerful than the 100s as they are going to be able to consume as they are going to be able to consume as they are going to be able to consume a little bit more power I also ran Nova a little bit more power I also ran Nova a little bit more power I also ran Nova bench on both of these devices and we bench on both of these devices and we bench on both of these devices and we had very similar results with speed had very similar results with speed had very similar results with speed performances across the board whether performances across the board whether performances across the board whether that be the proc processor Graphics Ram that be the proc processor Graphics Ram that be the proc processor Graphics Ram all that and I will be linking down all that and I will be linking down all that and I will be linking down below to the geekbench results as well below to the geekbench results as well below to the geekbench results as well as my Nova bench results if you are as my Nova bench results if you are as my Nova bench results if you are interested starting on the outside here interested starting on the outside here interested starting on the outside here we have our power button we have two USB we have our power button we have two USB we have our power button we have two USB 3.2 gen 2s as well as a 3.5 mm combo 3.2 gen 2s as well as a 3.5 mm combo 3.2 gen 2s as well as a 3.5 mm combo Jack if we flip it on over to the back Jack if we flip it on over to the back Jack if we flip it on over to the back we have a pretty decent IO we have both we have a pretty decent IO we have both we have a pretty decent IO we have both HDMI n display port for your display we HDMI n display port for your display we HDMI n display port for your display we have a single gabit ethernet which I I have a single gabit ethernet which I I have a single gabit ethernet which I I do wish it had two but that's not too do wish it had two but that's not too do wish it had two but that's not too big of a deal because then that would big of a deal because then that would big of a deal because then that would have allowed us to use this as like a have allowed us to use this as like a have allowed us to use this as like a firewall or a little router we do have a firewall or a little router we do have a firewall or a little router we do have a USB 3.2 type-c here as well as two USB

USB 3.2 type-c here as well as two USB USB 3.2 type-c here as well as two USB 2.0 ports which kind of sucks wish they 2.0 ports which kind of sucks wish they 2.0 ports which kind of sucks wish they were three but that's okay and last but were three but that's okay and last but were three but that's okay and last but not least we have our 19 F dcn I said not least we have our 19 F dcn I said not least we have our 19 F dcn I said last but not least too soon because last but not least too soon because last but not least too soon because there's a little tiff card reader or TF there's a little tiff card reader or TF there's a little tiff card reader or TF card reader here so you can put a little card reader here so you can put a little card reader here so you can put a little micro SD card in there if you would like micro SD card in there if you would like micro SD card in there if you would like to so now let's actually open this thing to so now let's actually open this thing to so now let's actually open this thing up and see what we got going on with the up and see what we got going on with the up and see what we got going on with the internals and talk a little bit more internals and talk a little bit more internals and talk a little bit more about some of the other specs all right about some of the other specs all right about some of the other specs all right so here is the minus form U1 100l and we so here is the minus form U1 100l and we so here is the minus form U1 100l and we are going to open this up real quick and are going to open this up real quick and are going to open this up real quick and the very first thing I noticed is it has the very first thing I noticed is it has the very first thing I noticed is it has these rubber feet pads now a lot of these rubber feet pads now a lot of these rubber feet pads now a lot of other mini PCS use like a sticky thing other mini PCS use like a sticky thing other mini PCS use like a sticky thing so when you go ahead and pull this off so when you go ahead and pull this off so when you go ahead and pull this off for the first time you're actually for the first time you're actually for the first time you're actually messing with the Integrity these are not messing with the Integrity these are not messing with the Integrity these are not they're just kind of divoted a little they're just kind of divoted a little they're just kind of divoted a little bit so it pulls in and out with ease bit so it pulls in and out with ease bit so it pulls in and out with ease without any like sticky material to without any like sticky material to without any like sticky material to screw that up which is nice so you go screw that up which is nice so you go screw that up which is nice so you go ahead pop all these off and we do ahead pop all these off and we do ahead pop all these off and we do actually have extras in the box which is actually have extras in the box which is actually have extras in the box which is nice so then whip out my screwdriver nice so then whip out my screwdriver nice so then whip out my screwdriver this is a custom one from LTT the Expo this is a custom one from LTT the Expo this is a custom one from LTT the Expo which was super cool there are four which was super cool there are four which was super cool there are four screws and there we go all of our screws screws and there we go all of our screws screws and there we go all of our screws are removed so now this should pop off are removed so now this should pop off are removed so now this should pop off fairly easy right here we have a little fairly easy right here we have a little fairly easy right here we have a little arrow that says front to kind of help arrow that says front to kind of help arrow that says front to kind of help with the direction of that so I can just with the direction of that so I can just with the direction of that so I can just put my nail in here and pop this off so put my nail in here and pop this off so put my nail in here and pop this off so here's the plastic part there's nothing here's the plastic part there's nothing here's the plastic part there's nothing attached attached to it which is nice attached attached to it which is nice attached attached to it which is nice but there are some screw holes that I but there are some screw holes that I but there are some screw holes that I see and we have this right here that's see and we have this right here that's see and we have this right here that's kind of taped down this right here's to kind of taped down this right here's to kind of taped down this right here's to add an additional uh 2.5 in either SSD

add an additional uh 2.5 in either SSD add an additional uh 2.5 in either SSD or spinning this car drive if you want or spinning this car drive if you want or spinning this car drive if you want to increase the storage we have the hard to increase the storage we have the hard to increase the storage we have the hard drive for the one that I got this is a drive for the one that I got this is a drive for the one that I got this is a mvme 3.0 256 hard drive from a brand mvme 3.0 256 hard drive from a brand mvme 3.0 256 hard drive from a brand I've never heard of go I've never heard of go I've never heard of go Fatu went ahead pulled that out this is Fatu went ahead pulled that out this is Fatu went ahead pulled that out this is what it looks like I'm going to leave what it looks like I'm going to leave what it looks like I'm going to leave this off to the side here we have a this off to the side here we have a this off to the side here we have a battery our Wi-Fi card is right here you battery our Wi-Fi card is right here you battery our Wi-Fi card is right here you can see the antennas right there is an can see the antennas right there is an can see the antennas right there is an internal view of the TF card or a Micro internal view of the TF card or a Micro internal view of the TF card or a Micro SD card and really when it comes to SD card and really when it comes to SD card and really when it comes to things we can interact with that that's things we can interact with that that's things we can interact with that that's about it let's see if we could take this about it let's see if we could take this about it let's see if we could take this apart any further there are four more apart any further there are four more apart any further there are four more screws so let's take those out these screws so let's take those out these screws so let's take those out these ones are definitely a lot shorter all ones are definitely a lot shorter all ones are definitely a lot shorter all right there's the last one and it looks right there's the last one and it looks right there's the last one and it looks like this might be pretty easy to pull like this might be pretty easy to pull like this might be pretty easy to pull out none of the actual slots or ports or out none of the actual slots or ports or out none of the actual slots or ports or anything are sticking out too far there anything are sticking out too far there anything are sticking out too far there we go I'm Going To Shimmy it up this way we go I'm Going To Shimmy it up this way we go I'm Going To Shimmy it up this way looks like the Tiff card is kind of looks like the Tiff card is kind of looks like the Tiff card is kind of blocking our exit so let's try to pull blocking our exit so let's try to pull blocking our exit so let's try to pull this plastic out of the way there we go this plastic out of the way there we go this plastic out of the way there we go now I'm not going to rip on it too hard now I'm not going to rip on it too hard now I'm not going to rip on it too hard as the antennas are connected to the top as the antennas are connected to the top as the antennas are connected to the top here for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but we here for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but we here for the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but we can see the top here pretty decently can see the top here pretty decently can see the top here pretty decently sized heat sink we got what looks like a sized heat sink we got what looks like a sized heat sink we got what looks like a cut right here or just somebody was cut right here or just somebody was cut right here or just somebody was screwing with this when they put it on screwing with this when they put it on screwing with this when they put it on on one thing you may notice is there's on one thing you may notice is there's on one thing you may notice is there's no Ram slot so the ram is not no Ram slot so the ram is not no Ram slot so the ram is not upgradeable on this guy and that's upgradeable on this guy and that's upgradeable on this guy and that's because we have the because we have the because we have the lpddr5 ram so there's it's going to be lpddr5 ram so there's it's going to be lpddr5 ram so there's it's going to be integrated onto the board so that is

integrated onto the board so that is integrated onto the board so that is something you're going to want to keep something you're going to want to keep something you're going to want to keep note of when you go ahead and purchase note of when you go ahead and purchase note of when you go ahead and purchase this thing if you do decide to now I this thing if you do decide to now I this thing if you do decide to now I would tear this apart a little bit would tear this apart a little bit would tear this apart a little bit further but I don't want to mess up the further but I don't want to mess up the further but I don't want to mess up the Integrity of the uh thermal pad or the Integrity of the uh thermal pad or the Integrity of the uh thermal pad or the heat sink or anything like that so I'm heat sink or anything like that so I'm heat sink or anything like that so I'm going to leave it as that but you going to leave it as that but you going to leave it as that but you technically could just take these and technically could just take these and technically could just take these and antennas off and use this as a little antennas off and use this as a little antennas off and use this as a little single board computer if you want to single board computer if you want to single board computer if you want to maybe get some standoffs and mount it maybe get some standoffs and mount it maybe get some standoffs and mount it onto something that might be pretty cool onto something that might be pretty cool onto something that might be pretty cool so just know that is an option if that's so just know that is an option if that's so just know that is an option if that's something you're interested in so now something you're interested in so now something you're interested in so now I'm going to try to fight this thing I'm going to try to fight this thing I'm going to try to fight this thing back in there without hopefully causing back in there without hopefully causing back in there without hopefully causing any damage and there we go a pretty good any damage and there we go a pretty good any damage and there we go a pretty good device for $200 you could use it as a PC device for $200 you could use it as a PC device for $200 you could use it as a PC if you just want to do some light work if you just want to do some light work if you just want to do some light work on it or probably one of the better use on it or probably one of the better use on it or probably one of the better use cases is using it as a little entrylevel cases is using it as a little entrylevel cases is using it as a little entrylevel home lab type device so with all that home lab type device so with all that home lab type device so with all that anything I mentioned will be linked down anything I mentioned will be linked down anything I mentioned will be linked down below and do make sure you subscribe as below and do make sure you subscribe as below and do make sure you subscribe as there are some awesome videos coming out there are some awesome videos coming out there are some awesome videos coming out with all that I do hope you have an with all that I do hope you have an with all that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and goodbye
