SBC paired with Intel N100 processor shows significant slowdown at 13th percentile according to user tests.
Hello, System Information: Model UP Squared 7100 SBC CPU Intel N100 RAM 8 GB Storage SSD Link to product https://up-shop.org/default/up-squared-7100-series.html Problem Summary: Very slow start-up experience. Programs such as Edge, Task Manager and File Explorer load slowly. CPU usage spikes when apps start. Some interrupts cause moderate CPU load. Observations & Test Outcomes: Benchmarking and Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool completed. Results indicate CPU at 13th percentile and graphics graphs at 0.37%. All tests passed except a BandString check appears to be faulty. Troubleshooting Attempts Made: Windows drivers updated, Intel CPU and graphics drivers verified, no new firmware from maker. Tested Ubuntu 24.04 which showed similar issues; some forms suggest it's due to LLVMpipe for graphics instead of Intel drivers. I tried forcing Intel Mesa and Iris drivers in Ubuntu but it still uses LLVMpipe. BIOS C state disabled. SSD works well elsewhere. Question: Are there further troubleshooting steps or clues that might assist? Thank you very much in advance!
It wouldnt let me attache the video because the size was to big but: https://streamable.com/9o2lj6
You're right, the N100 performs poorly even when running at maximum speed.
I didn't expect this, I was only testing the N97 but didn't think it would make such a big impact. It seems the N97 feels quite smooth and handles things well, yet my N100 is ranked in the 13th percentile among similar models.
Largely due to UserBenchmark's poor performance, it should never be relied upon. Their findings are flawed and inconsistent (being courteous).
