MoreFine M9 Hands On, This 4K Mini PC Has The All New N100 CPU

In this video take a look at and test out the all new Low Cost Morefine M9 mini PC powered by the new Intel N100 CPU. Very surprised by how well this chip handles emulation like psp, game cube and even PS2 emulation. The N100 is based on Alderlake so it offers more performance than the older N5000 chips.

According to Intel Ark, the N95, N100, & N200 are single channel memory only. The difference between the N100 and N200 are the max turbo frequency (3.4 vs 3.7) and iGPU execution units (24 vs 32) with the max iGPU speed the same. I'd be interested in seeing the difference between the N95 and the N100 in terms of iGPU performance because the N95 has a higher TDP (15W vs 6W) and the iGPU speed can go up to 1.2GHz vs 750MHz on the N100/N200. It does have less execution units (16 vs 24) compared to the N100, but that's why I'm curious on which performs better and if it's worth the extra TDP overhead (heat and power usage).

the Intel Alderlake-N doesnt support dual-channel memory. so the higher tier processor only benefited from more cores and more EU in the gpu side.

It's incredible how these new low-power processors have already overtaken the old cpus, like quad2core/ i5 2/3 generation.
Old processors are a power bomb with very little force.
technology has advanced a lot in efficiency... when I tested an i3 6100u tdp15w for the first time (6th generation remembering) I was scared by its RIDICULOUS consumption, monitoring app: 0.5w idle, 4-9w running 1080p60 videos on youtube haha Curious to see the consumption of this n100/n200 or i3n300 with 6-7w tdp

[BusAlexey]

Should have mentioned that all 4 cores are E-cores

[axescar]

Thank you for info about new intel chips. Googled a little - N300/N305 will be very interesting to see!

[KrystianWlr]

N100 (if the info is correct), offers hardware AV1 encoding, which if true, means that it's a perfect mini pc for home server and plex. Nice step up from n5105 mini pcs, which were everywhere last year.

[xumatyt]

N100 also supports DDR5 at 4800 MT/s. Would be interesting to see if that helps with lack of second memory channel. But we'll have to wait for another model of this MiniPC for that.

How many years has it been since we've seen a raw core performance increase this high? ~80%

[csolisr]

The little thing looks nice, but I'm not entirely sure about calling it cheap. $200 on discount and without either RAM or storage - the cheapest combo on the site adds a whopping $120!

[giornikitop]

all the N series, including the 8core core i3-N3XX are only single channel memory. these will be more interesting for net/nas systems. these are all ecores of course.

[Leos]

this 6w chip boasts equivalent performance to the i5 2500k in my home server build... the latter one being rated at 95w and actually consuming 45-60w under load. cool

[ReviewSmartTech]

other youtuber said idle power is 9watt, can you reconfirm if its 4watt only at idle?

[scroopynooperz]

really impressive what can be done with around 5W TDP these days! Intel N100 is basically the equivalent of an i5 2500 of a just over a decade ago.
Many people today are still using sandy bridge / Ivy bridge based PCs for general computing and HTPC.

Would be nice if it was capable of dual channel mode, but either way nice work Intel! Getting back to that grindstone again eh lol

[MasterKoala]

5:30 Geekbench 5 scores are slightly higher than my i5 8250u laptop with 8GB dual channel RAM and 500GB NVMe SSD. For an N series chip at this price, very impressive!

[cva]

N100 is just a bit more powerful (per Geekbench) than a Rockchip 3588 ARM SBC.

[MrLittlecat]

6 watt!! come on!! A raspberry pi power consumption of x86!!! This is amazing!!!

[jorgebravo]

Hello from Honduras! I love your videos!

[courtlandbudd]

Yes please do a performance/benchmark in batocera ♥️♥️♥️

[jan]

Are you sure about the power usage measurements? On RobTech's Youtube review "Alder Lake N is Finally Here! Morefine M9 Mini PC Review" his power at the wall measurements were for idle 9W and for max 34W. See timestamp 9:07

[MatthewRossNerd]

May I suggest a new test for you to do on these mini PCs? I'd like to know how well they perform doing OBS recording/streaming. A) Can they do it, B) What hardware compressions are supported, and C) What resolutions would be "acceptable" for 30 or 60 fps game streaming?

Thanks. I do enjoy the videos.
