AMD Ryzen 5 3400GE vs Intel Processor N150

The AMD Ryzen 5 3400GE is an AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) with the Picasso architecture (Zen+), manufactured using a 12 nm process.

It features 4 cores and 8 threads. This processor is aimed at desktop users seeking solid performance for productivity and light gaming, often in compact systems. It is equipped with a powerful AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics unit, which utilizes a maximum memory bandwidth of 47 GB/s, offering significantly better gaming performance than its competitor.

It demonstrates above-average single-core performance, which is advantageous for responsive applications. Its PCIe version is 3.0, the Level-2 cache is 2 MB, and the Level-3 cache is 4 MB. The Intel Processor N150, based on the Twin Lake architecture, is manufactured by Intel using a more efficient 7 nm process and offers 4 cores and 4 threads.

It is designed for energy-efficient entry-level systems and basic computing tasks such as office work and media playback. Its integrated Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake) with 38 GB/s maximum memory bandwidth is less suitable for gaming. In benchmarks, it shows solid multi-core performance as well as good single-core performance for its class.

The Intel Processor N150 is the more energy-efficient choice with a Level-2 cache of 4 MB and a Level-3 cache of 6 MB, also with PCIe 3.0 support.
