Benchmarking the ASRock Industrial NUC BOX-255H - LinuxLinks
In this article I’ll benchmark the machine. The tests are run using the Phoronix Test Suite, unless otherwise stated. Together with the ASRock NUC BOX-255H, I’ve run benchmarks on two other mini PCs (Intel NUC 13 Pro and Intel N100), as well as two desktop machines hosting 10th generation and 12th generation Intel processors. I include the N100 machine as it’s often found in bottom-end mini PCs. I want to see the scale of the difference between the ASRock NUC and an N100 Mini PC.
Each machine is tested with the same software and configured to ensure consistency between results. All power management functionality is disabled when running the benchmarks.
