The Cubi N ADL mini PC will ship with Windows 11 Home or Pro, and should deliver a noticeable boost in performance compared to Jasper Lake mini PC. Intel claims the CPU performance of the Processor N200 processor should improve by up to 28% compared to the Pentium Silver N6000 (Jasper Lake) based on CrossMark results, and we should also expect a boost of up to 64% GPU performance based on 3Dmark results.
MSI has not listed the Cubi N ADL on its website, and I found out about the Processor N100/N200 mini PC through Liliputing where Brad Linder discovered the new Alder Lake-N computer in a product brochure. There’s no word about availability or pricing, but hopefully, it will be launched within the next few months, and pricing should be in the range of current Jasper Lake mini PCs.
