A passive Intel Core 3 304 motherboard would be an absolute bestseller. The Core 3 304 uses a hybrid architecture (1 P-core + 4 Low Power E-cores / 5 threads). That single dedicated P-core handles demanding, front-of-house operations immediately without stutters. Chips like the popular Intel N150 feature a purely efficient architecture (4 E-cores / 4 threads). It lacks high-performance cores. With a PassMark score of roughly 11,500 points, the Core 3 304 delivers more than double the overall processing power of the N150, which caps out at around 5,350 points. New Atoms are reportedly on the way from RosaicLabs, but processor development takes years, and we simply can't stay stuck on the N150 much longer.
