Apple A18 Pro vs Intel Processor N150

The Apple A18 Pro was introduced as a central element for high-end mobile devices and is aimed at users seeking maximum computing power in a compact design.

This processor is based on the Donan architecture and is manufactured using the modern 3-nanometer process. With six cores and a generous Level 2 cache of 20 MB and a Level 3 cache of 24 MB, it offers high efficiency. In benchmarks, the Apple A18 Pro clearly outperforms the competition in both single-core and multi-core performance.

The integrated Apple A18 Pro (6 GPU cores) graphics unit also ensures smooth rendering in demanding scenarios. Thanks to a memory bandwidth of 60 GB/s, data is processed quickly, which improves system responsiveness. The Intel Processor N150 belongs to the Twin Lake family and is intended for use in low-cost desktop systems or simple laptops.

Manufactured using the 7-nanometer process, this processor has four cores and offers a Level 3 cache of 6 MB. In direct comparison, the performance of the Intel Processor N150 is significantly below that of the Apple model, qualifying it primarily for basic office work and web browsing.

The Intel Graphics 32 EUs (Alder Lake) handle graphic output but are less suitable for complex games. The Intel Processor N150 scores with a low Thermal Design Power and an attractive price-performance ratio for beginners. It also supports PCIe 3.0 for connecting peripherals in stationary systems.
