DS1522+ vs DS920+ - Enquiries - 07-26-2022
Hi Guys,
Thank you so much for the fantastic YouTube content, they are seriously helpful (excluding those dam Seagulls haha).
I have a really quick question in regards to the new DS1522+. In terms of raw CPU power, how does it compare to the DS920+. I will never be using it for plex transcoding but I would love to see a benchmark comparing the two CPUs (single and multi core) For some reason I cannot find any benchmarks for the AMD CPU but there is loads for intel. I'll be using it mainly for running Roon Core (similar to Plex but for music and radio only). I will also be storing files and I may run VMs in the future too. The benchmark would be very helpful... If the AMD CPU is a big difference (excluding GPU tasks) I will be likely to buy the ds1522+ but if it's like 10% difference, I might as well save my money.
I know you currently have the Nas in your office so if you could benchmark the cpu that would be so amazing! (If not, I totally understand)
Thanks again and take care

We actually released a video about this recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5peaha21xI
CPU benchmark is not yet tested for this CPU. But it is somewhere similar to ds920+.
It is only dual-core CPU, unlike ds1520+/920+ quad-core processor.
AMD is not good for multimedia. But if all you need is data storage and backups then this NAS will be a good choice.
It is a better choice for VMs thou since it allows more RAM https://kb.synology.com/en-us/DSM/tutorial/How_many_virtual_machines_can_I_run_on_my_Synology_NAS
I hope this helps.
