AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G vs Intel Processor N150

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, introduced as an OEM product in 2020, is aimed at professional desktop systems.

It is based on the Renoir architecture (Zen 2), manufactured using a 7 nm process, and features 6 cores and 12 threads for strong multitasking capability. It has an 8 MB Level 3 cache. In terms of computing power, it offers significantly higher performance in single-core and multi-core applications.

The integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 7 (Renoir) graphics unit is powerful enough for less demanding games, supported by 51 GB/s memory bandwidth. Its typical thermal design power (TDP) is approximately 65 watts. The price-performance ratio is good. It is the better choice for users who need higher performance for productivity or occasional gaming.

The Intel Processor N150, launched in 2023, is designed for energy-efficient entry-level systems.

It is also manufactured using a 7 nm process and is based on the Twin Lake architecture, with integrated Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake). This processor features 4 cores and 4 threads, with 4 MB Level 2 cache and 6 MB Level 3 cache. Its computing power is designed for basic tasks such as web browsing and office applications.

The integrated graphics are primarily optimized for display and video playback, but are very limited for gaming, supported by 38 GB/s memory bandwidth. With a typical TDP of 6 to 10 watts, it is extremely energy-efficient, enabling passive cooling. It offers an excellent price-performance ratio and is ideal for systems where energy efficiency, low cost, and passive operation are priorities.
