Comment on Can you run multiple servers on one machine (e.g. Raspberry Pi)?
Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI am looking at a few N100 mini pcs, is there an AMD alternative?
I keep seeing nearly good enough specs but the chip is not low power generation

it’s not recommended. AMD graphics in general have poor h.264 encoding: Encoder Quality: NVIDIA (RTX 50) ≥ Intel (Arc-B) ≥ Apple ≥ Intel ≥ NVIDIA ≥ AMD ≥ AMD H.264 (RX 9000) >>> AMD H.264*

Very good, I think I am going to go with a 16gb N100 lenovo all in one. Seems neatest.
Could I get your advice here on the below specs, I just came across it at a reasonable price for that much RAM. I would expect over a grand.
Intel Core Ultra 5 225H 64 GB DDR5 RAM 2 TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD

Based on those specs it sounds like it’s going to be more than capable in a homelab environment. If you’re streaming to ~5+ devices at the same time id assume it may start to struggle if it’s transcoding all of those so if you can pick or convert your media to something that doesn’t need transcoding that would be ideal.
but that looks like a solid buy. For reference I run on an old office potato and an external GPU from 2013 that I picked up for nothing a few years ago and have no problems. eventually I’ll have to upgrade when the drivers stop being supported but until then 2-3 streams max is fine for me.

I’ll be honest, I went looking based on your comment and found something thatnis either way under priced or very misleadingly titled. I have ordered it to check which.
It was 400 euro for that mini pc. I would probably move everything to it if it is real.
