N100 wasn't yet released when this was written in May (or was only just released).

Also the N100 only supports 16G RAM, and this guy has 64G. Number of pcix lanes (9 vs. 20) probably matter for their use case as well. And the i5 does seem quite a bit faster in general.

I'm running a home server on an N100 (ITX model) with a 32GB DIMM, works well.

It has been widely reported that Alder Lake N actually works with 32 GB, but for some reason Intel does not support this configuration officially.

The same happened with the previous generations of Intel Atom CPUs, they have always worked without any apparent problems with more memory than the maximum specified by Intel.
