Hello everyone.
I think my parent's PC is in dire need of upgrade. They're still using E4400 for word processing and browsing machine. At first I thought AMD's Ryzen APU would be a very good upgrade but I've read in other thread about Intel's low power NUC and it seems better fit for them since it will save a lot of space.
Fortunately, Intel looks like will update their NUC lineup this year. I really do hope their Gemini lake powered NUC a.k.a. June Canyon will hit the shelf with reasonable price. But, to be honest, I don't have any experiences with either Intel Atom cpu or their NUC product. What kind of performance can I expect from this product? A quick glance on Passmark database shows me that older Apollo lake J3455 single thread performance still way below the old Q6600, so will it be just a sidegrade for my parents or even a downgrade?
