8440U , 28W Supported by LibreELEC?

    Was doing some research for the next best Chipset after the N100 as a miniPC with lowish power draw and my research points towards the Ryzen 8440U

    Mainly interested in single core speed. From Ali for around £260, it aligns well for value.
    I'm not in the process of buying but was wondering how well do you think it would work out of the box compared to an N100.
    Literally only Gigabyte has one

    Asrock has this

    you have lots of handheld using this
    but only one chinese minipc vendor lol

    any speculative thoughts on this? thx

    thanks chewitt I'm so tempted lol
    this comparison has it 96% faster in single core compared to the N100.

    The N100 I can source for around £70 on sales, the 8840u for £260

    So you're paying 271% more with 366% more power draw (28w vs 6w) for 96% faster single core.

    On idle these boxes are not that high in power draw and you'll be using hardware decode too.
    Once prices reach more reasonable levels like £150, I think this would be great to test out.
    It is strange that only a single Chinese box is selling this inside a minipc form factor, most are hand held.
    anyway hope someone does try it out lol
