According to PassMark, the performance of the J5005 is twice as high as the GX-420CA and slightly higher than the RX-427BBB (T730).
Are these numbers somehow skewed or I haven't taken something into account.
It's more like numbers drifting.
- The AMD pre-Ryzen APUs tend to have higher numbers before the Spectre fixes gimped them across the line (the RX427BB used to be quoted at ~3300 CPUMarks up to a year ago)
Intel Passmark scores tends to creep up while AMD tends to creep down - I wonder if Futuremark
has a history of
cooking the books to
favor Intel?
- The numbers quoted for the Pentium J5005 were much lower back 6 months ago due to less number of samples reporting back to FutureMark - I think STH reviewed the chip and compared it to the X3421...which isn't too bad. Of course, it's still a Pentium J5005. Considering that HP t640s with Ryzen Embedded R1505s are available on eBay US for roughly 175-200 on best offers (yes, at least several people here landed it at that price), you would go Ryzen unless you plan to transcode video on it. AMD's VCN on the Ryzens are not that great.
That being said, only the Wyse 5070 Extended thin client has the PCIe slot - otherwise you are really just better off getting an HP t640 thin client, or a Lenovo m715q thin client. Of course, the interesting question to ask is...do you think this
90 dollar Wyse 5070 is the extended model with the riser inside..?
