AMD Athlon 5350 vs Intel Processor N150

The AMD Athlon 5350 is based on the Kabini (Jaguar) architecture and was manufactured using the 28 nm fabrication process.

It features four cores and four threads. Its Geekbench 6 performance is 236 (Single-Core) and 708 (Multi-Core), while it achieves a Single-Core performance of 865 in Cinebench R23. The integrated AMD Radeon HD 8400 graphics offers a maximum memory bandwidth of 13 GB/s. It was developed for energy-efficient entry-level desktop systems.

The Intel Processor N150 uses the modern Twin Lake architecture and is manufactured using the advanced 7 nm fabrication process.

It is equipped with two cores and two threads. Its performance is significantly higher, with 1234 (Single-Core) and 2979 (Multi-Core) in Geekbench 6, as well as 920 (Multi-Core) in Cinebench R23 and 61 (Single-Core) or 181 (Multi-Core) in Cinebench 2024. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake) and PCIe 3.0 benefit from a maximum memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s.

This processor targets efficient, responsive entry-level PCs. In gaming scenarios, the Intel Processor N150 offers superior performance due to its newer architecture, more powerful integrated graphics unit, and significantly higher memory bandwidth. Neither processor is designed for demanding gaming.

In terms of energy efficiency, the Intel Processor N150 is significantly more efficient thanks to the 7 nm fabrication process and generates less heat than the 28 nm AMD Athlon 5350. The price-performance ratio of the Intel Processor N150 is better due to its significantly higher performance and efficiency, making it the more contemporary choice for modern entry-level PCs.
