I want to move from my RPi4 to a mini server, for example Beelink Mini s12 Pro (N100+16GB DDR4 Ram) or Blackview Mini Pc MP80 (N95+16GB LPDDR5 RAM). Currently I run Homeassistant+Paperless NGX and I want to run a Linux Distro additionally in the future.
So, this processor type only supports up to 16GB (officially). Will this be enough for Proxmox? Or should I switch to a Ryzen CPU to get 32GB+?
And also, should I choose LPDDR5 instead of DDR4 RAM? Most mini-pcs offer DDR4 ?!
Sorry, but the amount of different configurations of mini-pcs is so overwhelming.
The memory limit on Intel Ark is wrong. They support 64GB IIRC but largest module available are 48GB.
You should also pick DDR5 edition since it basically doubles the throughput and DDR4 single channel is already bottlenecking the CPU.
