AMD Ryzen 3 5425U vs Intel Processor N100

The AMD Ryzen 3 5425U is a mobile processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (Barcelo), manufactured using a 7 nm process, designed for mainstream use.

It offers 4 cores, 8 threads, and an AMD Radeon RX Vega 6 graphics unit. Its 1 MB L2 and 8 MB L3 caches, along with 34 GB/s memory bandwidth, enable stronger computing performance in single- and multi-core tasks. This performance makes it a better choice for multitasking, lighter gaming scenarios, and more demanding applications, but it typically requires more power than its competitor.

In contrast, the Intel Processor N100 is a 10 nm mobile processor based on the Alder Lake N architecture, targeting the entry-level and ultra-low-power market.

It features 4 efficiency cores, 4 threads, an Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs, 4 MB L2 and 6 MB L3 caches, and 38 GB/s memory bandwidth. It stands out for its exceptional energy efficiency, making it ideal for basic tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and long battery life. In terms of price, it is usually positioned in more affordable systems.

Although it offers solid basic performance, it does not achieve the computing or graphics performance of the AMD processor.
