On the best CoreMark score, Intel N100 is 65.4% higher than J4125.

Verdict and recommendation

N100 is the generational successor to J4125. Its Intel 7 process and 6 W power envelope deliver about 65% more CoreMark performance than the 10 W J4125. Both are 4-core/4-thread NAS platforms that handle file serving and light Docker workloads, but N100 adds AV1 decode, stronger single-core performance and a longer software runway for Jellyfin or Emby transcoding. Choose N100 for a new build; an existing J4125 system can keep running unless you need 4K transcoding or many containers.

This conclusion is based on public specifications and 17NAS measurements for reference. Your workload (bay count, transcoding needs and Docker scale) matters more than a benchmark score.
