I mean, a few years ago we had 1ghz CPUs with a 60w TDP. now you can do 3 or 4 or sometimes even more with the same tdp. it's not all about the power.

The N100 goes up to 3.4GHz and has a TDP of 6W

They're not found in traditional PC's and are attached directly to the motherboard itself. They're meant for mobile / embedded but are quite popular for servers in the selfhosting community due to their low power usage, price, and performance. It's comparable to a i5-7500T in terms of performance (so not that fast), but it does have better video encoding acceleration which makes it suitable for streaming video. Due to the availability and prices of Raspberry Pi kits, these are often chosen instead for simple servers because mini-PC's with it can cost the same as a Raspberry Pi kit.
