Not enough for guys who see i5 and could think it will perform +/- OK like mid range CPU.
Everyone has different tasks. I just wanted to warn that you will get more like "Celeron" experience, that's it.
P.S. At work I have Pentium G820 desktop that do only one task - play sounds by scheduler. And it is slow as hell even loading OS itself or when you need to change some settings. So no need to call me "hater" or snob, as there is a huge gap between do nothing and play "Crysis".
Decided to compare this CPU with other old CPUs + Ryzen just for the reference.

run crisis was a joke.
but my G5600 starts win10 pro x64 in 3 seconds, only a good x4 NVMe ssd required.
it is a office machine.
Ah nice. 98 was very light on the swap file since even 128MB of ram was overkill for it.
What gets me is that the single thread performance is higher than most thin clients in this price range. While the fans may be a turn off for 'quiet', the cpu is stronger from a pure performance standpoint:
Looks like a replacement to the raspberry pi you can't get today. I picked one up but I really don't need it. Thought it would be a good backup home assistant device if I need it. What is everyone else using them for?
9 left/55 sold as of this post... 
So the two questions I use to avoid purchasing such good deals are the following--if I get this, can I put it to use immediately? if I don't get this now and need this later, will I be able to pick it up (or similar/better) for the same price or cheaper later?--the answers have to be yes/no to green light a purchase, and usually a big no on the second one since it does take time to put stuff into use. Hope this helps!
I tend to pick up any toys that look interesting if its a good deal and not too pricey.
Then either it makes it into the lab or i resell it with profit domesticly when ive played around with it.
Alot of my shelf now is parts for the new ceph storage stack, like 25x J5005 boards and switches/power along with various bits for them.

Generally the only way I'm able to do this is at the end of the bathtub curve when my stuff gets into the collector territory, lol. Otherwise, I just use it and enjoy it for what it is.
Stuff that's still working deserves to keep on working I always say! And someone out there will want it, so it eventually will go to a good home.
I probably got 100U worth of cisco piled up in various corners since it just wont die.
Not really worth much to sell but a shame to throw away when working.
Gutted a bunch of switches to use their cases for m-itx boards tho
Wow, that's a lotta U! I bet at some point a computer museum could use some of them.
I've seen some restored servers from eras gone by and it's pretty neat to see them back in working order doing something even semi-modern. Yep, working hardware deserves to keep on working!I can almost start a DL380 museum already, i got G2 G3 G4 G5 G6 G7 G8E G8P G9 and G10Plus (Tho the last one is missing some parts)
Not really hunted for a G1 yet, but the ones ive happend to see for sale has been costing more than used G9-G10 units do now.
I received this yesterday, super fast shipping. Everything boots up and looks good. I'm in the process of taking it apart to repaste it and just check it out. Pretty cool little device.
