AMD Ryzen 7 5825U vs Intel Processor N100

AMD's AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (Barcelo, Zen 3) is designed for powerful compact systems that require a good balance of computing power and efficiency.

Intel's Intel Processor N100 (Alder Lake N) targets energy-efficient devices for basic computing tasks in areas such as mini-PCs or thin clients.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U is manufactured using a 7 nm process and offers 8 cores and 16 threads, enabling high parallel processing capability. The Intel Processor N100 uses a 10 nm process and is equipped with 4 cores and 4 threads, which means a lower ability to handle tasks simultaneously.

In terms of computing performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U significantly outperforms the Intel Processor N100 in single-core and multi-core applications. Its architecture and core count provide the necessary performance for demanding software and more complex workloads. The Intel Processor N100 is sufficient for everyday tasks but cannot keep up with intensive calculations.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U has 16 MB of Level 3 cache, while the Intel Processor N100 has 4 MB of Level 2 and 6 MB of Level 3 cache. For gaming, the integrated AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 (Renoir) in the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U delivers clearly better performance. This allows for smoother gameplay of simpler or older titles.

The Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake) of the Intel Processor N100 is primarily intended for media playback and basic graphical output and is unsuitable for demanding games. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U offers a balanced ratio of performance and efficiency, with its computing power requiring higher power consumption.

The maximum memory bandwidth is 34 GB/s. The Intel Processor N100, on the other hand, is optimized for extremely low power consumption, making it ideal for passive cooling and fanless systems. Its maximum memory bandwidth is 38 GB/s. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U offers an excellent price-performance ratio for users who need versatile performance in the mid-range segment.

The Intel Processor N100 is characterized by a very good price-performance ratio in the entry-level segment, ideal for cost-effective, energy-efficient devices with basic requirements.
