DreamQuest N100 Mini PC Running Linux: Benchmarks - LinuxLinks
This is a multi-part blog looking at a DreamQuest N100 Mini PC running Linux. The model we’re testing has an Intel N100 processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and a 512GB M.2 SSD. It sounds like an inexpensive machine to run Linux.
This article benchmarks the DreamQuest N100 Mini PC running Ubuntu 24.10. The tests are run using the Phoronix Test Suite unless otherwise stated. Rather than compare the DreamQuest’s performance against processors found in modern mini PCs, we’re taking an alternative approach.
We benchmark the machine against a server/workstation, a tiny desktop PC, and a fairly old mini PC. We want to see how well the DreamQuest Mini PC might function say as a home server or as a desktop replacement. We also compare this machine to a DreamQuest N95 Mini PC we previously reviewed.
