Is an Intel celeron or intel atom mini pc faster in performance of a raspberry pi 4
hello,
I have a raspberry pi 4 with 4gb ram. It's ok for it's value and specs. I was looking at mini pc's on amazon and saw a couple of mini pc with either an intel celeron or atom CPU. Are either of these cpus faster than the raspberry pi 4's arm cpu? Or is performance about the same? - peace |
https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compar..._celeron_n5105 should give you an idea vs. the Celeron. Atom is generally less powerful than Celeron, but it depends on generation and model specifics.

Which is better in performance the short or long bar of the benchmarks? |
I have an older Celeron based PC & an RPi4, my Celeron is faster in real world situations.
I used to have some Atom based netbooks, & they were slower than my RPi4. |

So even if a celeron has a lower frequency and is a dual core, it is still faster than the latest RPI4? thx |
After struggling with trying to purchase a PI in the USA. Deals are closed down till 2024 here.
I took my 2 instances of saved 50 bucks and bought one used I3 intel NUC box and this chromebook I am posting with. Code:

Yeah NUC boxes are great but are quite expensive. I just want something a bit more beefier and speed than the RPI4. Any mini pc under $300 is sufficient enough for me to replace my RPI4 However, I would buy a NUC box one day to replace my main desktop, a HP desktop intel i5. |
I bought a job lot of 15x HP T520 thin clients, (cost me £1.67 each, without PSU), & am converting them to desktop PCs, (they are about as fast as my RPi4), dual 1.2GHz processors with 4GB ram & a 16GB M2 SSD inside, plenty of room for any distro, & I use an external USB drive for major storage.
(These kinds of computers can be bought for about £25~35 off Ebay.) |
jackx2023,
Why buy new for Linux? A used Lenovo ThinkPad T440s i5-4300U preferably with 8GB RAM and SSD is ideal for Linux. I just bought one myself and it flies with EndeavourOS. |
NUC boxes might be expensive in your area.
Not in mine. RPi 4 are what are expensive here. I paid 70 bucks for a 512MB ram PI with single core arm and it boots my MXPI sd card OK and runs like it is immersed in molasses. You walk away after you open the browser while waiting to load. This is on Fluxbox window manager. My NUC box was 50 bucks with 4 gig of ram. This chromebook was 47 bucks with 4 gig of ram. |

Thanks to all here for your replies. I got my question answered here from you guys.
The intel celeron is indeed faster/higher performance than an arm cpu of a raspberry pi. But a few bucks more I might get a mini pc with an intel i3 or better. ;) |
