July 22, 20196 yr I'm looking to finally replace my 10 year old server. I only really use this as a media server with a couple of dockers - nothing fancy like VMs etc. Does the Pentium G5500 (probably paired with an ASRock B360M-HDV motherboard) have enough grunt to take care of the basics? Would upgrading to a G5600 make any difference? Many thanks for your time.
July 22, 20196 yr Absolutly. The system will stand between the SOC systems like the J4105 boards and an i3 8100 performancewise. It will combine the low power consumption and the benefits of a "fullsize" platform. If you want to go crazy with many docker containers I recommend to go with 16GB RAM. You won't see any difference in a reallife cenario between a G5500 and a G5600. -> https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-Gold-G5600-vs-Intel-Pentium-Gold-G5500/m469126vsm484140

I think I will only use a few dockers, so will probably leave it at 8gb for now, and upgrade to more if needed further down the line. Thanks again.
