Hi. I am building a stompbox with Tonelib GFX as a built-in SW to run it. Currently, I am running Tonelib on Apollo Lake N3450 8GB RAM laptop. Proc load is on average ~30% with 70% spikes. Since any mini PC or laptop based on this processor is still in the range of 250€ I am looking for a cheaper solution. Would N3350 run it?
Tonelib GFX does not need a super powerful computer to run. A basic setup with a dual-core CPU, 4GB RAM, and a simple built-in graphics card should work. Just make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for smooth performance!
N3350 is not recommended for running Tonelib GFX reliably. It will likely introduce performance issues due to its lower core count and weaker overall processing power. If you must go cheaper, consider an alternative with at least 4 cores for smoother real-time audio processing.
Interesting project! Running Tonelib GFX within a stompbox sounds ambitious. The Apollo Lake N3450 seems to be working, albeit with load spikes. While an N3350 might be cheaper, I'd worry about performance.
I’ve tried running Tonelib GFX on different low-power processors, and the Apollo Lake N3450 seems to handle it decently with some occasional spikes in CPU usage. From my experience, the N3350 is quite a bit less powerful, so it might struggle, especially if you want smooth performance without lag. If budget is tight, consider optimizing your setup or looking for slightly used hardware with better specs. Meanwhile, for some relaxing downtime, I’ve found Sprunki to be a great entertainment option to unwind after working on projects like this.
Interesting findings on Tonelib GFX! Apollo Lake N3450 sounds like the minimum, akin to running FNAF on a potato. Optimization is key for weaker CPUs. Sprunki sounds intriguing for post-project decompression - I'll check it out! Maybe tweaking audio buffer size could help reduce those CPU spikes?
It's great to see your enthusiasm for building a stompbox! While the N3350 might be a little less powerful than the N3450, it could still handle some lighter loads.
