ASUS ExpertCenter PN64-E1 Performance
The Intel Core i5-13500H is a 4x P-core 8x E-core CPU for 12 cores and 16 threads. This is a soldered CPU, so one has to decide which CPU to get when they order the ExpertCenter PN64-E1.
Python Linux 4.4.2 Kernel Compile Benchmark
This is one of the most requested benchmarks for STH over the past few years. The task was simple, we have a standard configuration file, the Linux 4.4.2 kernel from kernel.org, and make the standard auto-generated configuration utilizing every thread in the system. We are expressing results in terms of compiles per hour to make the results easier to read:
The performance here is very good for a mini PC. For some context, mini PCs are being sold new today all along this performance range, and even a bit below and above what we are showing. The higher TDP parts in the market tend not to be great fits for the mini PC market due to cooling.
7-zip Compression Performance
7-zip is a widely used compression/ decompression program that works cross-platform. We started using the program during our early days with Windows testing. It is now part of Linux-Bench.
7zip again shows some solid results.
OpenSSL Performance
OpenSSL is widely used to secure communications between servers. This is an important protocol in many server stacks. We first look at our sign tests:
Here are the verify results:
The competition between Intel and AMD in this space is notable, and that has really pushed Intel to increase the performance of its parts at a faster cadence than with previous generations.
Geekbench 6 Performance
We ran this system and are using the Chromebox 5 results as a comparison point.
Overall, very solid Geekbench 6 results as well.
The Intel Core i5-13500H offers more than enough performance for most desktop users. If one is not doing heavy video editing or AAA gaming, then one is unlikely to perceive a difference between this CPU and higher-end processors. That is what is making the mini PC market so vibrant. These mini PCs are great for most users.
Next, let us get to the power consumption and noise.
