If the SFF is doing work, it might be done in a fraction of the time of the pi. Race to finish. Hard to say without real workloads, but if there are any plans of routinely pegging the CPU, most power efficient strategy is to buy a modern chip.

The orange pi 5 Geekbench score is ~75% of the i5-8500T used as example, so no - the sff won't be done in a fraction of the time. These CPUs are old and crusty after all... I do agree that modern CPUs are required for high-load situations.

If you agree, than relative measures of TDP/benchmark at the redline are pointless, ignoring that TDP number are often inaccurate anyway.

What you probably want to compare for most home uses is power at some low idle vs performance at that CPU throttle level. The difference is probably a Watt or two max, which never would justify a brand new SBC over repurposing something headed to ewaste for environmental reasons.

Geez for the prices listed in the article (153 EUR and 301 EUR), get a TMM (tiny mini micro - https://www.servethehome.com/introducing-project-tinyminimic... ) computer. These are the SFF/USFF off-lease older enterprise computers like Dell Optiplex. Note that ServeTheHome.com does power consumption for every model it reviews. These ~1L sized computers idle in the 7-13W range. Even with EU electricity prices, it would…

To get one in the EU the price triples at least and usually they simply don't ship here.

Not quite the same machine, but the Wyse are plenty fast enough for everything I've needed a home server for. It's quad core and has Intel Quicksync for Plex, and can hold a lot more memory than they state in the official documents.

This listing is UK £75, but I got one for a similar price from the EU.

they aren't industrial embedded computers, so comparing them to some $1500 hardened industrial embedded platform is not only unfair, it's not a comparison that's respectful of the other participants in the conversation. you're relying on people not knowing about embedded hardware so that it appears your comparison is fair. The Raspberry Pi is not an embedded platform in the ways that you are using for comparison. The…

> some $1500 hardened industrial embedded platform It's just a (respectable( power supply. I'm assuming OP just wanted to say that power quality was not the issue.

it is very hard to know if your raspberry pi issue is power related if you don't do what you can to make sure that power isn't an issue.

prior Pis didn't log when they had power issues, and current ones do, if they are able to.

on a Pi 2 A (I think) I had to hook up an oscilloscope to catch all the tiny power problems I was having, and only then realized what was happening. I was 100% sure I was delivering enough power. I was not. those symptoms were only visible without the scope as weird errors in the OS and running applications, and corrupted SD cards.

Good to know, but the UK is not the EU
