New N100 intel board => X4

#20

I wonder if like a X5 is planned. Rock5B+ has the perfect I/O in my opinion but paired with the n100 or (hopefully) N97 it would be an instant buy

#21

AFAIK the successor of X2L is planned.

#22

Do we know how the power limits are gonna influence performance?

#23

What are the power limits? In general, N100 doesn’t get any faster above 25 W

#24

n200,n300 would be a better fit for a an X5 imho

#25

Im writing on one but shhh :wink:

IMO the only issue/downside to the X4 series is the fact there isnt dual channel ram, if you take a look at the X4 you cant find a place to fit 1 more ram chip

#26

Could you confirm availability, for example on Taobao?

#27

Well the N100/200/300 only supports singel channel memory, so a bigger board wouldn´t help.

#28

Continuing the discussion from New N100 intel board => X4:

I’d like to know the memory performance on X4, do you mind testing it with the sbc-bench script?

@renaud_renaud I’ll ask my collegues on monday, tho cant promise anything, I rarely touch x86 I work on arm and RadxaOS

Thanks, that’s informative. BTW it seems that you have a 16G RAM model, while the publicly available SKUs only have up to 12G.

I also noticed that with one RAM chip 16G version should be possible.

BTW: 2230 m.2 M slot is perfect for me and hopefully we will see it on all small radxa sbcs where side m.2 was used. For those who need regular 2280 I think that 3c extension variant should work?

#33

This isn’t the X4, also from what I can tell a 32gb version is possible

#34

I believe there were mentions of some power limits somewhere. Maybe 5, 10, 15W modes? I’m not sure, I can’t find those comments.

Just wondering how it performs against GMKtec G3…

#35

At 15 W it will be slightly limited, especially in CPU+GPU workloads.

#36

tbh rn im kinda thermally limited on mine its using the x2l heatsink but thats rly loud and doesnt keep it cool at all

#37

Well, don’t you work at Radxa? It’s not me who can do anything about it

#38

I was just saying ur more likely to get bottlenecked by overheating than power delivery/consumption

#39

Take a look at Firebat T8 Plus, it is quite small and deals with 30 W without much noise or any thermal throttling.

#40

At a higher price, slower ram plus an octopod with cables coming out everywhere, I’m not in the market for x86 I don’t need x86 really
