Minix already has a new fanless mini PC in the oven, the MINIX Neo Z300-dB, a low power computer that updates in several aspects of the MINIX Neo Z100-dB that we saw in review some time ago.
Now we have inside this small PC an Intel i3-N300 processor that substantially improves the Intel N100 present in the MINIX Neo Z100-dB. The Intel i3-N300 is a processor that has 8 x86 cores and 8 threads, twice as many as the Intel N100 and is also faster, reaching 3.8 Ghz and has a better iGPU. Undoubtedly a significant advance at CPU level that will have a positive impact on the performance of this mini PC and naturally will have passive cooling, which ensures 0 noise.
