Turns out, the heavy Ansible scripting in oVirt suffers significantly from ‘not-quite-server-class’ CPUs, but that’s telling more about how badly those frameworks waste CPU power than about this CPU, which performs admirably on properly compiled code, and even on Javscript-overfed websites, developed on and for an iMac target.īTW: The second DDR4 DRAM channel doesn’t pay back in performance, only in capacity and power consumption: You get a lowly 8GB/s on a single DDR4-2400 module and 9.3GB/s on a dual setup, even if it’s officially operated as dual channel.

As my benchmark proved out, it is quite capable of replacing any 3.5GHz Phenom II quad or 3.4GHz Penryn Core-2 quad, even Sandy Bridge i7 only just get away on multi-core workloads using almost an order of magnitude more power.Īmong the Linux desktops I find that Cinnamon offers both the best mix of performance and ergonomics, using the relatively strong GPU to full advantage while GNOME and KDE require much more CPU power even with GPU acceleration, while pure software rendering with MATE at 4k stops being fun even with 5GHz Kaby Lakes. Even on interactive response was very snappy (the J1900 was much harder to endure even at THD), any ordinary Office and Browser work was totally acceptable. I have several Atoms J1900, N3700 and N3450 and the increases both in CPU and GPU power have been far bigger than in the desktop arena during that time.

I benched the first system on Windows 10, too and was quite impressed. Still it delivers 200MB/s from an Atom, probably a good match for the Gluster underneath oVirt. Got a sweet €99/piece deal on Samsung 860 EVO 1TB the other day and snatched those as well.Īnother nice thing is the appearance of RealTek 8156 based USB3 2.5Gbit controllers which allow you to fit a secondary 2.5Gbit Ethernet interface for around €40 (hope that price comes down significantly), which is perhaps not quite as balanced as a 5Gbit variant would be for that platform, but evidently 5Gbit PHYs eat too much power. The real crunchers is that with 2 DDR4 SO-DIMM slots you can fit 32GB of RAM into a silent little box, together with as much SATA-SSD you’re wishing to spend on. The main purpose was to build a silent and low-power oVirt three node hyperconverged cluster with a ‘remote’ backup in the home-lab for concept testing. The have been impossible to get for over a year, but recently I have found some supplies, tested an initial one and then bought three more. Next, we are going to take a look at our Intel Pentium Silver J5005 benchmarks, we are then going to focus on power consumption then conclude with our final words on the processors.ĪSRock is selling a Mini-ITX board based on the J5005. With dual 1GbE NICs, room for an M.2 SSD and a Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi M.2 card and the Intel Pentium Silver J5005 onboard this is a compact platform that can be deployed almost anywhere. Fujitsu D3544 S Internal Overview Configured Our platform is extremely compact, and the best part is that it is fanless even in a fairly wide temperature range.
Our review is going to focus on how it compares to other embedded compute options.
In that thermal envelope, it has a lot to offer. All of that is easily forgotten given the context of this being a 10W TDP part.
Frequencies are modest by modern standards. This small quad-core processor is a 10W TDP part that includes a GPU as well. The Intel Pentium Silver J5005 is certainly not one of them. Fujitsu D3544 S Internal Overview ConfiguredĪt STH, we test a lot of high-end processors.
