Is a Pentium powerful enough? I recently found a YouTube channel called “Wolfgang’s Channel” and he also has a home server with a Pentium. He says it is plenty enough for these kind of tasks.
Comment on Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs?

You can try a mini PC, you mentioned Germany so for example this amzn.eu/d/0Evab2M I think that should be a bit more powerful than a Pi, but not sure by how much.

If that’s not powerful enough a raspberry pi isn’t either, that CPU ranks slightly higher than the one on a pi 5 cpubenchmark.net/…/ARM-Cortex-A76-4-Core-2400-MHz…
Also I don’t know how I forgot about this (since it’s what I do a lot of the times), but you can buy from other Amazon’s in Europe, for example in Spain you can get this CPU www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-65… which is almost double the benchmark of a Pi for 127 amzn.eu/d/6UwsUqf
Those mini PCs are awesome, the only reason my home server isn’t one of them is because I have a 3.5" HDD which doesn’t fit in them, but I’m looking to switch to some other alternative because the franken-desktop I have now uses too much power for what it’s doing.

By leaps and bounds

Not sure if that much, their CPU benchmark is pretty close.

It depends on the CPU however having an AMD64 type CPU means that you will have better performance
