I’m looking at some old Intel and Pentium CPUs that are in a NUC. Are cores and max clock speed the only things that matter? Would a Pentium be good enough to run Immich? I have a i7-4790, and the NUCs I’m looking at range from a Pentium J5005 to a i3-1115G4. I do run Docker, does that affect anything?
If you just do a search for <cpu1 model> vs <cpu2 model> often times you get pointed to sites that can do that comparison for you.
For example searching for: J5005 vs i3-1115G4
gave me several links one of which was Intel Core i3-1115G4 vs Pentium Silver J5005 - UserBenchmark
There were several other sites with similar headers.
As for best one for Docker, that too you can search. Specially if you use something like perplexity.ai and you ask which of those two is better for docker it gives you a nice comparison along with which areas one is better than the other as it pertains to using Docker. Suspect you can get similar good info from using any Large Language Models (LLM) like ChatGPT or Claude.ai (both of which have free plans)
I would avoid the userbenchmark site, the owners are heavily biased against AMD, so their benchmarks cannot be trusted
That’s true for AMD/Intel comparisons. It doesn’t really matter when comparing one vendor.
But you’re right, it is not really trustworthy
