It's interesting seeing this tiny thing beating my 10yo tower pc in every test taken in this video. Knowing that there are devices using so little power to do things that would need a full-blown pc in the past is quite fascinating. I surely hope we can expect a full on gaming pc capable of at least 1080p high graphic setting on such small form factor in the future.
Very excited to see this running a home server linux distro. Pack it full of HDDs for NAS capability and stuff it with useful VMs/Docker containers, the efficiency is insane at this price point. Especially if you have leftover parts hanging around like random HDDs. But for this channel maybe slap some SteamOS on this guy and a m.2 to PCI adapter and a discrete GPU (RX6400), for the lols.
I've never been so tempted to get this, run an nvme to external gpu adapter, and run some gaming just out of curiousity. these pentium silvers and atom derivatives have evolved so much!
@n n it's a Pentium. 4:54 look at the task manager. It was called a Celeron in error, this is one of the effecient derivatives of atoms many years ago. There is no such thing as a Celeron n6005. There is a Pentium n6005
@n n names haven't had much impact into schematics for Intel in a long time. The "true" Celeron and Pentium parts have been historically single and dual core high power parts. In the last decade they've shared architecture with the mainstream core series. The Celeron and Pentium "N/J" name skus have always been relegated to higher power hybrids of the Atom line though. Processors that are power efficient, but not enough to be an atom, but have 0 dna with their true Core/Celeron/Pentium brethren. To call it a Celeron because it shares the same core count and architecture with the slower twin is odd to me. Celerons with this architecture have historically been dual cores, and pentiums quad cores, then eventually Intel began naming them based on clocks not just core counts with some celerons being quadcore low clocks. It's no different than the core I3/5/7 U laptop chips, which for 6+ years have always been dual cores with HT, only separated by clocks. If anything, I'd be more inclined to call quadcore celerons pentiums, than call pentiums a Celeron as in the last 4 years there have been several dual core celerons in the "N" naming, but never a dual core Pentium thus the atom hybrid quadcore have always been either called "Atom" or "Pentium" but the celerons have not always been quadcore.
@n n Where does it say Intel is killing celeron, there is news that they are changing the branding because it makes sense as they are not this cheap sht processsors anymore and are really capable of basic tasks well.
@n n You can call it an AMD A8- 10100fkstX-v4 lol just don't correct someone with imaginary names. It's a Pentium. It looks like the last 7 years of low power pentiums.
It's a great chip - very snappy for what it is. NVME drive also helps a ton. The N5105 i also have is just sluggish in comparison. I have the NUC 11 ATKPE, great little mini PC. This is even more interesting but at the cost of potential stability - my NUC is rock solid while my Chinese N5105 from Beelink is just a touch buggy at times
Great vid. I love the looks and specs of this product. That being said, I went to order it from Hardkernel and the cost for a case, the H3+ and PS were around $200 US. On checking out, the shipping was set at $111 US. I cancelled the order. I'll wait to see if there are better deals in the future.
@@carsonbrooks1326 I suspect, but I'd still be interested, especially something like LoL which can run on incredibly low specs. I had laptops that coudlnt even come close to running Dolphin GC emulation, but could play LoL perfectly at good settings
Halo infinite no way it runs well, that game is surprisingly demanding. I don't think it will run at all tbh. CSGO it might be able to do 30 fps? I have run it on Intel 8550U and UHD 620 and it was 30 fps on low with drops below 30. Perhaps this will perform around the same?
I would love to see how to setup a NAS using a board like this. I have a few old SATA drives and would love to just have a little home "cloud" storage for everyone in the house to use.
There are first party cases for this board with space for drives. I have bought one myself, still waiting for other components to arrive then I'm gonna slap NixOS with ZFS and root on tmpfs on this board.
#1 - you do an amazing job with your channel #2 - I'd love to see this baby run Trunas (mainly for freeBSD & hardware compatibility) and batocera (separately of course).
Would be interesting to compare Batocera performance to Windows in PS2 emulation. Will be waiting for your views on the Ultra to see if it's worth going to from the Super version.
Oh my god. Literally just ordered one. Now I got 2 different mini PCs coming soon. This one is perfect WITHOUT a wifi card, its compact, and silent. Setups like this are perfect for people like me that need discreet PC's on Linux and cheap enough to be disposable when needed.
I'm very much interested in performance of Manjaro on both the H3 and H3+ in video playback (streaming & files) of up to 4k. Because that'd basically be my use case for them.
I wouldn't use this for games, there are better options, but a video using this for like pfsense, or unraid as a router/firewall or media server would be interesting. 2 Nics makes it perfect for that. I wonder if anyone makes cases for it.
Everyone seems to put out better SBCs than Raspberry pi....It sucks because such great cases come out for the Raspberry pis...I dont want to support them. I want to support HardKernel, or anyone else
This Odroid SBS is looking pretty nice. I've been looking around for a device that could be used as a home server and NAS. I think this is looking very close to what is required. Maybe when they release the H4+ in a few years it will have 10Gb ethernet as well as more SATA ports. Then this would be a very nice machine indeed!
A 10GB ethernet standard is kind of more than a few years away. Look how just recently 2.5 GB is becoming more common and Gigabit lasted a long time. I'd say get a Mini-ITX case like a Silverstone ML09B (7.0 Liter case) with an Intel i7-12700 (non-K), a low profile 10GB network card for like $600 total and use that if you need the speed and extra SATA ports.
Do you think it's possible to add a M.2 to SATA adapter to add 5 more SATA port, so use this board in a NAS system. It will be passive cooled and low power. Thought?
@@combatepistemologist8382 Hardkernel tested it themselves and it was able to support 64gb. If you tried this yourself, you almost definitely should get the same results. It might be a result of intel trying to downplay their pentium cpus in favour of pushing potential customers to their higher end core series. Personally I feel that 64gb of ram is way overkill for a cpu of this performance tier, unless there is some very niche workload that uses a lot of ram but does not need a strong cpu.
Under Linux you can offload video decoding on the GPU via VA-API, Firefox is now able to utilize it, Kodi can manage 8K videos without breaking into sweat.
With respect to N5105 cpu and virtualization potential, Proxmox forum discussions over the summertime 2022 indicated that while PM itself was stable on N5105, users' VMs themselves ununderstandably were crashing (i.e., without impairment of Proxmox itself). J4125 Celeron (Goldmont Plus microarchitecture) was continuing to garner these PM users' attention; I don't know whether N5105 issues relating to Proxmox have been patched since. Some Proxmox users had switched to VMware in order to deploy N5105 VMs . . . *So . . . will the same be said for N6005 as N5105 (both are Tremont microarchitecture)?* Dunno. Awesome vid, Prime. 👍 Thank you very much for the at-the-wall power consumption measurements. Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.
The bare version is 165 dollar... Since a AMD 5600G + microATX AM4 board is under 200 dollar ( edit : well about 201 dollar atm) now and Standard DDR4 is cheaper than LDDR4 this kind of boards are really not advisable now. Seems the former cheap SBC market is collapsing? As in ridiculously expensive compared to the performance. Do SBC manafacturers need a reality check or is it simply not possible to produce to compete with the large AM4 manafacturers?
@n n Well... you could buy a AMD 3000G+mainboard for about 150 dollar... yoiu could do that with that also. Or even a cheaper second hand PC. Only in niche cases it's usefull, but then there a lot of SBC's in the 150-200 dollar range that can do the exact same thing. SBC's as the Pi were not popular because their performance but because of their price once being less than a third of this one. The SBC market is non existent if 'normal'PC's beat them at price AND performance. Trying to justify big price jumps with small performance gains won't work considering the competition.
@n n Well .... Then the sbc reviewed here is also very expensive there because it's 165 dolllar WITHOUT any memory and laptop memory is more expensive than normal memory. And if you're living in a country where the most basic AM4 CPU's are expensive even to order international... Well I guess ordering this SBC and delivering it there cost a lot too. My advise : Check Amaz0n for that 3000G or spend a bit more for that 5600G. At the same time order some memory and a AM4 mainboard with it and you have a bit more than a computer that can do 'light emulation'. If you are able to order this meager SBC international you can order other stuff too right?
I've never heard that disticinction here anyway... So if it has a M2 slot it isn't a SBC neither? That does't matter for the point that it is too expensive compared to other solutions. In normal case it is a advantage if parts are changeable. More likely that people have leftover DDR4 instead of LDDR4.There is always a niche case possible. That won't make it a popular product. We weren't talking about routers...that's a niche case considering there are many cheaper alternative options for that around.
I have the HC4 now. Been wanting something with upgradable RAM and faster overall. Seems like a huge bottleneck in my Nextcloud installation. And I'm liking that type 4 case.
Please do a Plex server with this. I want to see how many 4K HEVC to 1080p h264 transcodes it can do with QuickSync. This could be an awesome Plex box with that GPU.
I think manjaro. Main reason is lower end steam games would definetly be somthing this pc will be best for. Like og far cry and pixel games such as hero seige
Neat little Intel machine. When you do the follow up load up some challenging Steam games too. Please rate its performance and power draw using a SATA HDD as well because some of us can't afford 14 TB SSDs when we want to create a home theater PC :)
I think Manjaro could get the job done: I have an even older Intel Pentium laptop that was really struggling with Windows 10, even with a SATA III SSD. Manjaro gave me an overall better and more solid performance, even in gaming and emulation!
nice little unit. here come the big but. can currently buy a full 57oog based system for only 60 pound more here in the UK after tax and import duties. with 16gb , 512 m.2 nvme , mobo, power supply and case with fans.
I just found about this SBC yesterday so the timing of this video couldn't have been better 😄 Anyways, the Geekbench performance is surprisingly similar to a RK3588 SoC which makes me wonder how would these two compare in emulation and some light linux gaming (FOSS games like Xonotic that can be compiled on basically any CPU architecture) It would be also pretty cool to see which one of these chips is more efficient and whether a smaller company like Rockchip can match the performance and efficiency of low power Intel Pentium CPUs
@@AD34534 Well, if you are a windows user, I get that ARM SBCs might not be for you but for FOSS and GNU/Linux nerds, these are some of the best toys because you can run most of the things you would run on your regular x86 PC and if something doesn't work out of the box, you can just nerd over it and compile it yourself. I found myself in a weird spot - I don't even play computer games because my PC can't run the good ones and the rest doesn't satisfy me and tinkering with GNU/Linux (Arch, btw) gives me much more joy 🤣
I’d love to see Batocera. I’d also like to see options for enclosures to get a better feel on how this little guy can be customized and utilized. I’d bet it’s pretty solid.
It's funny, I was waiting to learn about a chip that can run Windows that could rivaled the RK3588 in terms of costs. And this seems to hit the sweet spot for me to make a RE: Outbreak server from.
Run Garuda linux it's very optimised infact it runs on my 16 year old celeron processor pc clocked at 1ghz Also it's based on arch Linux and uses Pacman package manager its really good with ui and animations if you don't want you can disable the animations and it has got a lot of themes inside the flash tool plus it is very well optimised linux distro for gaming
Great little SBC, I will keep an eye on it for future endeavors. Any thoughts on doing a review of the Beelink GT-King II it was just released in June and has the A311D2 chipset So far there are no English speaking reviews that I can find on CZcams
This is an amazing board, the 6005 is a very capable cpu. Imo its a really amazing offering from Odriod, only thing holding me down to is the Realtek lans, for a router i would prefer intel.
When are you going to revisit VMan's image, he is using retrobat on windows as his base, its come along way since the pi days. He just added PS vita emulation which is still very new. Lots of content you could talk about.
I really wish those 2 white fan headers were sata ports too. This would be the perfect little 4 bay nas board then. you could still achieve it with an m.2 to sata controller board though for a little extra cost. i just have no idea how reliable those are.
I think the two white fan headers you are talking about are actually SATA power connections. Necessary for those two sata ports. I suppose you could add some sort of external power though. According to the product page, there's only one active fan header. It's on the opposite side of the SATA connections.
Thanks for the pictures at the end. I was wondering how the fan mounting went? Seems like you might have to adjust size, to match the heatsink.. Are there any dedicated cases for this board?
A miss.....they could sell a TON of these if they did ONE thing. Add a PCIe slot. Doesnt even have to be 16x. 4x is fine. Make the mobo size just one inch wider and add the slot. Using a riser cable and an old 750ti or 970 etc... you can have a cheap Emulation powerhouse even on things like ps2, ps3, etc.... Unless you can use that m.2 slot for a graphics riser and use the sata SSD instead. Can you test that config?? Also, When ever you do GPU benchmarks...can you say what it compares to on a standalone card perspective?? Like "this little board got 3425 score...that is the equivalent to a GTX 1050" Would be very helpful
Single board PCs are getting to a point i'm considering ditching my full size PC. This with core i3 12 or 13 gen would be plenty enough, well n6005 is enough for use but not enough for me to completely switch to it.
a big sad tear in my eyes because of the "Helios64" project that has been canceled, it resembled in so many details, while acting as a NAS alternative with decent SOC.
This is a pretty decent emulation machine it's to bad it struggles on some games I was almost sold on this thing. I wonder what holds it back the cpu or gpu. Maybe there is a work around for better performance.
Can you maybe put it against an H2+? This is what I have right now. It used to be a NAS, but I needed more drives and I made a NAS out of my old desktop.

Anyways, the Geekbench performance is surprisingly similar to a RK3588 SoC which makes me wonder how would these two compare in emulation and some light linux gaming (FOSS games like Xonotic that can be compiled on basically any CPU architecture)
It would be also pretty cool to see which one of these chips is more efficient and whether a smaller company like Rockchip can match the performance and efficiency of low power Intel Pentium CPUs
x86 will be better because of the whole driver support issue on ARM SBCs.
@@AD34534 Well, if you are a windows user, I get that ARM SBCs might not be for you but for FOSS and GNU/Linux nerds, these are some of the best toys because you can run most of the things you would run on your regular x86 PC and if something doesn't work out of the box, you can just nerd over it and compile it yourself.
I found myself in a weird spot - I don't even play computer games because my PC can't run the good ones and the rest doesn't satisfy me and tinkering with GNU/Linux (Arch, btw) gives me much more joy 🤣
double 4TB HDD in raid0, 1TB nvme for cache and 64GB eMMC for system ... true nas is best for me and i can do everything on this ... nice look thx ETA
I’d love to see Batocera. I’d also like to see options for enclosures to get a better feel on how this little guy can be customized and utilized. I’d bet it’s pretty solid.
Seeing it running using batocera would be awesome 👏🤝
It's funny, I was waiting to learn about a chip that can run Windows that could rivaled the RK3588 in terms of costs. And this seems to hit the sweet spot for me to make a RE: Outbreak server from.
As a longtime Slackware user I'd like to see you run that on it.
Run Garuda linux it's very optimised infact it runs on my 16 year old celeron processor pc clocked at 1ghz
Also it's based on arch Linux and uses Pacman package manager its really good with ui and animations if you don't want you can disable the animations and it has got a lot of themes inside the flash tool plus it is very well optimised linux distro for gaming
I really am gonna miss those 4K video tests if 4K content on CZcams becomes locked behind a paywall...
Lets see arch running on it
Batocera would be great, thanks. And perhaps some newer MAME games, which require a current version of MAME?
Great video!
I would love to see a video of this PCB with Recalbox X86 =)
Plutôt Batocera ;)
Nice!!
need this kinda chip in a fanless handheld 🎮
Dual LAN makes this an amazing little router.
Thanks for mentioning power consumption!
Let’s get my boy too 1m subs
love to see it running Batocera Ps2
would ❤️to see some Batocera on this!
with 64GB of RAM it can be your own Micro ESXi Hypervisor
Great little SBC, I will keep an eye on it for future endeavors.
Any thoughts on doing a review of the Beelink GT-King II it was just released in June and has the A311D2 chipset
So far there are no English speaking reviews that I can find on CZcams
I would love to see this performing as a plex server
This is an amazing board, the 6005 is a very capable cpu. Imo its a really amazing offering from Odriod, only thing holding me down to is the Realtek lans, for a router i would prefer intel.
I like to see ArchLinux loaded on the card how will it preforms. I like to see how it will handle usb WiFi and Bluetooth.
This looks like a great pfSense box!
Definitely enjoy all of your reviews , great job. I wanted to ask, could you get a an external gpu and add to it for gaming...
Now we're talking!
That’s crazy I was totally wondering if it would play World of Warcraft lol😂
Playing bug demo from sega saturn will give me a better idea the performance.
When are you going to revisit VMan's image, he is using retrobat on windows as his base, its come along way since the pi days. He just added PS vita emulation which is still very new. Lots of content you could talk about.
I really wish those 2 white fan headers were sata ports too. This would be the perfect little 4 bay nas board then. you could still achieve it with an m.2 to sata controller board though for a little extra cost. i just have no idea how reliable those are.
I think the two white fan headers you are talking about are actually SATA power connections. Necessary for those two sata ports. I suppose you could add some sort of external power though. According to the product page, there's only one active fan header. It's on the opposite side of the SATA connections.
I think a WiiU capable NUC PC under 20W could be fun to take camping with a projector.
interresting to install steal OS on External SSD and EGC !
looks like a great foundation for a NAS + Plex server.
Kinda crazy that cemu emulation is so easy it runs on hardware similar in power to the Wii u
quite the little beast, thanks for the heads up!!!
Thanks for the pictures at the end. I was wondering how the fan mounting went? Seems like you might have to adjust size, to match the heatsink.. Are there any dedicated cases for this board?
I'm thinking this will make one damn nice handheld gaming PC running steam os
A miss.....they could sell a TON of these if they did ONE thing.
Add a PCIe slot. Doesnt even have to be 16x. 4x is fine. Make the mobo size just one inch wider and add the slot. Using a riser cable and an old 750ti or 970 etc... you can have a cheap Emulation powerhouse even on things like ps2, ps3, etc....
Unless you can use that m.2 slot for a graphics riser and use the sata SSD instead.
Can you test that config??
Also, When ever you do GPU benchmarks...can you say what it compares to on a standalone card perspective??
Like "this little board got 3425 score...that is the equivalent to a GTX 1050"
Would be very helpful
Single board PCs are getting to a point i'm considering ditching my full size PC. This with core i3 12 or 13 gen would be plenty enough, well n6005 is enough for use but not enough for me to completely switch to it.
Thank you for the video, would you mind benchmarking AV1 decoding on linux (libreelec)... thanx!
a big sad tear in my eyes because of the "Helios64" project that has been canceled, it resembled in so many details, while acting as a NAS alternative with decent SOC.
Could you try Xpenology using ARPL and if it works, show the power consumption with two 3.5 HDD’s 🙏
This is a pretty decent emulation machine it's to bad it struggles on some games I was almost sold on this thing. I wonder what holds it back the cpu or gpu. Maybe there is a work around for better performance.
Ever wonder what that shiny bag and bright yellow warning sticker meant?
I'm staggered you got skyrim to run on this ^^'
Can you maybe put it against an H2+? This is what I have right now. It used to be a NAS, but I needed more drives and I made a NAS out of my old desktop.
I reckon AMD should chuck a low power 6CU Navi 2 APU Ordroids way. GIve it 4-6 cores, maybe threaded.
