AMD Athlon™ II NEO N36L


HP ProLiant MicroServer

Hewlett-Packard (HP) sells the HP ProLiant MicroServer, which is an inexpensive server without an operating system (OS).

If you need one with an OS, you can use something called “Hewlett Packard’s Bundle Plus.” You may find Bundle Plus being sold separately online, but officially, it seems you have to apply for it at the same time as purchasing the OS.

AMD Athlon™ II NEO N36L

The description mentions the AMD Athlon™ II NEO N36L processor (1.3GHz, 15W, 2MB) ×1. I asked someone who knows quite a bit about CPUs what this is.

The NEO series seems to be risky for use as a server. It’s a low-power model CPU, originally intended for laptops.

I looked up how it’s evaluated in benchmarks (I only searched).

It looks unsuitable for development purposes.
