Trading the Pi(geon) for power

    I went: Pi 2 -> Pi 4 -> Odroid H3 -> Intel N100 box (current). All in all from about 4W idle on the pi to about 10W idle on the N100 box. So not a big power jump all in all, but my needs did get bigger since the Pi.

      Love the evolution! How are you measuring the power consumption of your devices? I’d be interested in profiling my build as well.

    I went the other way; I had a Dell r430 and downsized to two hp elitedesk g4 mini. Together, they use less than half of the power of the 1u server.

    But I am never satisfied, I’m sure I’ll want to iterate again next year.
