AMD 3015Ce vs Intel Processor N100

The AMD 3015Ce, based on the Dali (Zen) architecture and manufactured using the 14 nm process, is designed for energy-efficient systems with basic requirements.

It offers 1 MB L2 and 4 MB L3 cache. Its integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 3 graphics unit and 13 GB/s maximum memory bandwidth support PCIe 3.0. The Intel Processor N100, manufactured by Intel using the more advanced 10 nm process, utilizes the Alder Lake N architecture for efficiency and everyday computing tasks.

It features 4 MB L2 and 6 MB L3 cache. Its integrated Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs and 38 GB/s maximum memory bandwidth are also connected via PCIe 3.0. In terms of computing performance, the Intel Processor N100 significantly outperforms the AMD 3015Ce; benchmarks show a lead of over 10 percent in single-core and multi-core performance.

Even for very simple games, the Intel Processor N100 offers an advantage thanks to superior CPU performance and a more modern integrated graphics unit. Both processors are designed for energy efficiency. However, the 10 nm manufacturing process of the Intel Processor N100 generally enables higher efficiency and cooler operation than the 14 nm AMD 3015Ce, making it better suited for fanless systems.

Without specific prices, the price-performance ratio can only be estimated. Given the consistently superior performance, the Intel Processor N100 is likely to offer a better price-performance ratio. For extremely basic tasks, the AMD 3015Ce is an option. For most use cases requiring noticeably better computing and graphics performance for everyday multitasking, the Intel Processor N100 is the more recommended choice.
