Anyone used RetroPie in Intel N95/N100 mini computer?
-
Several months ago, Intel released N95 and N100 CPU for their entry line. They no longer use Pentium/Celeron but it's the successor of Celeron and Atom line.
It can use NVMe SSD and SODIMM DDR4 RAM(but only single channel).
There is a video that emulation performance in Beelink MINI S12 Pro (one of the mini computer that using Intel N100)
It seems to run a few PS2 and Gamecube games.I have old mini computer called Lenovo Thinkcentre M72e, that using Ivy Bridge CPU with low power (TDP 35W~45W). I bought refurbished one and changed CPU to i5-3570S(TDP 65W) and adapter up to 90W. It can run many games that only using CPU power, and enough for runs Dreamcast and PSP games. (for PS2 and GameCube/Wii, only a few games can run) Running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and RetroPie.
If I change my emulation device to N100 computer, Is it upgrade for me? or just nothing? (If I also install Ubuntu and RetroPie) GPU seems to better than mine(supports Vulkan), but...
