Intel Atom x7835RE vs Intel Core Ultra 5 225

The Intel Atom x7835RE, based on the Amston Lake architecture and manufactured using the 10 nm process, is designed for energy-efficient applications and systems with low power requirements.

It integrates Intel UHD Graphics with 32 EUs (Alder Lake), offers 38 GB/s memory bandwidth, and PCIe 3.0. Its performance is designed for basic tasks such as web browsing. In contrast, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is a more modern processor based on the Arrow Lake architecture, manufactured using the efficient 3 nm process.

This chip targets mainstream users who require significantly higher computing power. It features more powerful Intel Xe 4 Core Graphics with 64 EUs (Arrow Lake), a memory bandwidth of 102 GB/s, and offers PCIe 5.0. In benchmarks, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 significantly outperforms the Atom x7835RE in single-core and multi-core performance.

For gaming, the Core Ultra 5 225 is the clearly better choice thanks to its superior integrated graphics, higher memory bandwidth, and PCIe 5.0. While the Atom x7835RE is optimized for low power consumption, the Core Ultra 5 225 delivers significantly more performance, which typically requires higher power consumption and a more robust cooling solution.

In terms of price, the Atom will be in the lower segment, while the Core Ultra 5 225 offers dramatically higher performance for its cost. The Intel Atom x7835RE is ideal for cost-effective, energy-efficient thin clients or IoT devices with basic performance requirements. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is recommended for demanding users seeking high overall performance, superior integrated graphics, and modern connectivity for productivity, multimedia, and light gaming.
