How do I determine if a CPU is better than another one? - eviltoast

I’m looking at some old Intel and Pentium CPUs that are in a NUC. Are cores and max clock speed the only things that matter? Would a Pentium be good enough to run Immich? I have a i7-4790, and the NUCs I’m looking at range from a Pentium J5005 to a i3-1115G4. I do run Docker, does that affect anything?

    Buy a used tiny/mini/micro from eBay. Best bang for buck and good efficiency. I got a Dell with a 9500T for $110.

      This the route I went too, a couple years ago I found a tiny form factor Lenovo with a 6500t on eBay for a little under 70 bucks shipped and then I found a tiny Dell with a 9500t on my local Craigslist for 100 bucks.

      They’re good little boxes.
