DingDian S3 is an ultra-compact, pocket-sized mini PC powered by an Intel Pentium Silver N6000 Jasper Lake processor, and equipped with 16GB RAM, and up to 1TB SSD with two M.2 sockets for either SATA or NVMe storage.
The mini PC also includes a 2.5GbE port, an Intel AX201 WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 module, a 4K-capable HDMI 2.0 port, four USB ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
DingDian S3 specifications:
The manufacturer, Yingboda Intelligent Technology, says the S3 mini PC can support Windows10, Windows 11, as well as Ubuntu 20.04 and newer, but does not say whether the OS can be selected at the time of order.
If the device and specifications look similar, it’s because the MOREFINE M6 mini PC has the exact same design, but use an Intel Celeron N5105 quad-core Jasper Lake processor, instead of the Pentium Silver N6000 in DingDian S3, and the company even forgot to change M6 to S3 once in the product description.
You’d think that a Pentium N6000 would be faster than a Celeron N5105 from the same Jasper Lake family, but as noted by Liliputing, the Pentium Silver N6000 is a 6W quad-core processor @ 1.1 GHz / 3.3 GHz (Turbo), while the Celeron N5105 is a 10W quad-core processor with a 2.0GHz base frequency and 2.9GHz turbo frequency, so it should perform slightly better than the Pentium SoC.
DingDian S3 pocket-sized Pentium N6000 mini PC has recently been launched on Kickstarter with a $5,000 goal. Rewards start at $249 for the super early bird model with 16GB RAM and 128GB storage, and go up to $389 with a 1TB SSD. Shipping adds $20 to the total, and deliveies are expected to start in June 2022.
