In this video we check out the Blackview MP80 mini PC featuring Intel’s N97 CPU. In this review we check out the MP80’s performance and features. Intel’s N97 is what I wanted to see as the successor to the 11th gen budget CPUs and the Blackview MP80 mini works well.

I'd have been more interested if they charged a bit more for a slightly larger system with 2.5gb Lan and a 2280 m.2. I can see that this would be good for some people though, especially at $180.
Impressive little number, I enjoyed the review.
I mistakenly thought I would prefer a N100 as it would be better binned but this is patently false based on your review, it appears they traded off too much GPU performance for CPU performance on this part. The N100 and N97 are identical silicon(4 core CPU with 24EU GPU Alder lake), only difference is base and turbo clocks based on the designed power limits. n97 listed as a 12W part, N100 as a 6W. But in these devices they are given the same thermal headroom… The only conclusion I can draw is the base/turbo multipliers are very significant and crippling the N100.
What we really need is a N series with an unlocked multiplier on both GPU and CPU to see how capable this chip is. The N100 would perform similarly if it wasn't being artificial handicapped(Less than half the GPU and CPU base clock as well as 30% less GPU turbo clock).
Excellent – does it seem snappier in Windows 11 than the N100?
You are right, this level of budget CPU+iGPU performance feels like what the N100 originally should have been.
N97: 24CU at 1.2GHz
N100: 24CU at 750MHz
hope more mini's with n97 come out to market soon, especially with better upgrade option.
…BUT you can’t have everything. Or can you? No, you can’t. 😂😂😂
Good job, mate, thanks! Keep it up!
For someone new to home servers/labs and keen on learning about cloud technology, Docker, and containers while running 1-3 VMs, what type of mini PC would you recommend?. I'm not aiming for gaming or Plex usage, just exploring and experimenting with these technologies. Any recommendations?
The difficult nature of getting to the internals would turn me off this mini PC
Would it be possible to get some tests of Forza Horizon 5 and Balder's Gate? It would be much appreciated.
I'm impressed.
This video is a hidden gem.
Intel N97 system-on-chip has 9 lanes of PCIe 3 for board designers to allocate, including support for dual 2.5 GbE and USB 3.2 Gen 2. It is unfortunate that Blackview's offering does not max out the N97's potential, but the $180 price is appealing for those who would cash in their pop bottles to buy a mini PC with somewhat improved graphics. Look to ASRock Industrial's iBox-N97 for a DDR4 fanless alternative.
So they couldn't even be bothered to name it properly, shows how much intel cares thesedays.. Nice mini pc tho.
league gaming on the n100 is around 65-75 fps medium settings. This n97 can go 100 on high? that's very surprising!
Hey, nice to see this review; I've been curious as all hell about it. For $180 it's hard to complain but even though I'm pretty comfortable working inside mini's (NUC's and Beelinks) this one sure looks like it makes it difficult. I'd also pay a bit more for a slightly larger box that would enable a 2280 drive. Still, fair review and I can see why people would like it.
For under 200 yes.
Not bad.
Thanks for sharing.
When Intel names CPU's, they apparently have no sense of common sense in naming; just a confusing lot of names like each was pulled out of a hat. Consumer : What's faster ? 6005, N95, N100, N97, N305, etc, etc. Intel: WDGAF what we name things.
@Robtech Have you deleted the Intel NUC11E review video? I can't find it for some reason.
