Raspberry Pi 5 vs. Intel N100 mini PC comparison


Detailed comparision of the Raspberry Pi 5 and Intel N100 mini PCs with a look at features and specifications, benchmarks, and price.

The Intel N100-powered GEEKOM Mini Air12 is faster for most tasks, and in some cases up to almost three times as fast (Speedometer 2.0 in Firefox), except for memset (similar results) and OpenSSL AES-256 where the higher sustained single-core CPU frequency helps the Arm SBC. He won’t allow any noisy fan to pollute his room either, and he’d been fine with a fanless mini PC like the MINIX Z100-0dB with 8GB RAM that’s currently sold for $220.71 on Amazon excluding taxes with an 8% discount coupon selectable before order. Intel Processor N100 mini PCs offer a better performance/price ratio as a general-purpose computer running Windows 11 or a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, although you may potentially save a few dollars by using a Raspberry Pi 5.
