Just to adjust the numbers a little, the Pi idles at 2-4W (for similar RAM spec), and the N100/150 are only about 2-4x more performant (with a slight bit less efficiency), for most tasks, in real-world benchmarks.

(Not saying they're not a good value, but you'd have to cherry pick a few benchmarks to say there's 4-10x performance.)

At the wall? I measured mine and it was higher with gpu disabled.

Real world benchmarks/usage is going to be dominated by sd card speed vs m2 perf. That’s why upgrading system is so much slower on pi vs n100…


it depends a lot if the RAM is DDR4 or DDR5, those Intels really like fast memory
