So very compact!!.. guessing it's primarily because they built upwards rather than sideways. Nice to see em pushing the form factor, fine by me as long as temp controls are under control & it's quiet. Speaking of something new that's properly temp-controlled and uber quiet....The Beelink EQ13..been using it these past 2 weeks and dropping the review tonight.  nod.gif

Wow... but I kinda wonder the value of the N200 though... 32EU vs 24EU but is it really worth the price difference? Personally I think N100/97 make sense from the power draw level, portability and then they should jump straight to N305 with 1x P Core for slightly faster speed.

Now that Intel is boosting that Sykmont is 50% faster, I rather hold back my purchases to see if they would release a successor to N100. A 50% increase in IPC would take it almost to 9th/10th gen i5 level. Even though I raised the power level in the bios from 12W to 15W, overall it did felt a little slower than my N100 but slightly smoother gaming (Im playing web3 game called Pixel and also mine seeker which is using Unreal Engine.)

True, it's about $USD60 difference between the 2 and 3.4GHz vs 3.7Ghz... I'd say for normal usage, performance differences is negligible. Nevertheless, see diff below;

Beelink EQ13 N200 review dropped and spoiler alert....It's power draw during normal usage is under 8W.. brows.gif Right now I'm running 15 tabs on Brave, 3 other programs open in the background and it's alternating between 14.3W to 16.7W.

P.S. is this the game you were referring to? Looks sick. I've gotta catch some shut eye though.. Gotta be up in a few hours. Super busy day tomorrow.. Else, I'd dig in..
