N100 will most likely win in everything except power usage
@JazzTechie2 ай бұрын
N100 is faster performance, RK3588 is better power consumption and temperatures. Off topic: In light of Intel having some issues (earnings report, raptor lake snafu), I'm kinda wanting to see if AMD has anything going on in the low cost low power embedded space. Outside full blown mini PCs (or maybe beelink, NUC type stuff, etc), there aren't any pi-type AMD products.

17:00 The desktop actually does not seem to be GPU-accelerated. The first indicator is probably the screen tearing, but when you go into the info center at 17:34, you can see that the GPU is listed as "llvmpipe", which is a software-render that runs on the CPU when there is no GPU-accelerated renderer available. The performance of RK3588's CPU probably makes up for it, but the GPU is not used at all. Though it's very interesting that Chromium says it does use hardware acceleration, but maybe it sees LLVMpipe as a hardware renderer. Maybe it's missing driver packages, maybe it's the old kernel, but it's kind of a shame that the Mali G610 can't be used properly yet.

Correct me if I am wrong, but from the KDE Info page the video driver in use is llvmpipe which denotes only software rendering and no hardware acceleration at all. Basically, no driver has been loaded for the gpu. Although a powerful machine it does not stand a chance against a N100 comparison, basically due to the biggest problem that all these sbcs have, i.e. proper software support for the hardware.

I owned an original Chopin like this and used it for my media PC for several years. I couldn't use the included PSU because it was too loud: The fan on the PSU itself was actually nicely quiet, as I was able to test it outside of the case, but the air would flow around a few bends, as you can see with the exterior shroud, and that airflow got quite noisy. I went with a PicoPSU instead. Then on the upside, I had much more room for cable management without having the included PSU installed. I did have to figure out a janky way to mount the PicoPSU power input connector, and then block off the remainder of the PSU opening on the back. I was never truly happy with it--I always wanted to try to 3D print something, but never got around to it.

I also have to say that the RK3588 is a remarkably well equipped board. This really does look like a landmark product. With the inevitable updates and upgrades of future software this will be quite the contender in the mini pc market.

I would like to see a comparison video between this and the N100, providing they are aimed at the same 'space' in the market. That and possibly a third machine.. maybe if a mini ITX RISC 5 machine appears on the horizon.

I would love to see the comparison video, I find all your work intriguing, educating, and entertaining. You put a whole new spin on rock-paper-scissors:-)(I love all your name your tools)

I would be more interested in a ITX sized carrier board, that could be upgraded with newer compute modules in the future. This way I could reuse the old compute modules for other projects.

I think there is/was such a thing for the Raspberry Pi where you could swap out the compute modules

The return of Intel's slot 1 or even further back the S-100 CPM systems? I think there would be too much trouble with the connectors at modern speeds.

@@mikespangler98 the Intel solution was the processor only, right? I'm talking about a carrier board only for external ports, everything else is on the compute module.

@@SkepticalCaveman So Slot 1 with CPU and RAM, and maybe space for a M2 slot? The Compute module would be bigger than the carrier board which would be down to USB and Ethernet plus the graphics card. I'm really not seeing a huge advantage over the conventional ITX standard. Now you disconnect cables, possibly move the video card and install a new computer while moving the old one to its new job. With the new system you move the compute module to a new system and install a new compute module in its place assuming the existing power supply can handle it, and you still might be changing the video card, and you'll still likely have to reinstall the OS.

This board literally has more connectivity features and I/O tham many costly regular motherboards.... Good useful and satisfying..

17:00 Clearly this is NOT a gpu accelerated desktop. 17:35 This shows us it is using llvmpipe aka Software Renderer. The only stable Mesa (hardware) renderer for now for RK35xx is Gnome and Cinnamon, not KDE.

Great stuff. Thumbs up for the RK3588 vs N100 video,, I'd be very interested to see what comes out of that.

Great content as always. Could you please make a video on SDRs( Software Defined Radio)?

It's nice to see his desk so well ARMed for compute. The arena of numbers (compile time, load times,scores, and stats for nerds and more!). The board like like it might have NAS service as a possible use case with all that SATA connectivity and m.2 .
