Intel Celeron J1900 vs Intel Processor N95

The Intel Celeron J1900, based on the 22 nm Bay Trail architecture, was designed for simple entry-level systems and mini-PCs.

It is suitable for basic tasks such as web browsing and media playback. The exact number of cores and threads is not listed. It features 2 MB of L3 cache and 0 MB of L2 cache. The maximum memory bandwidth is 21 GB/s with integrated Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail GT1). The Intel Processor N95, based on the newer 10 nm Alder Lake N architecture, is intended for modern, energy-efficient applications in laptops and mini-PCs.

It offers improved performance for daily productivity and light multitasking. The exact number of cores and threads is also not listed. This processor has 4 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. Its maximum memory bandwidth is 38 GB/s, complemented by Intel UHD Graphics 16 EUs (Alder Lake). In a direct performance comparison, the Intel Processor N95 significantly surpasses the Intel Celeron J1900 in single-core and multi-core performance.

Benchmarks show a many times higher computing performance for the N95. Both processors are not designed for gaming; however, the N95 offers noticeably better performance for very light games thanks to more modern graphics and higher memory bandwidth. Both CPUs are energy-efficient and suitable for passively cooled systems.

The Intel Processor N95 offers a significantly better price-performance ratio and is the more powerful choice for current entry-level systems. The J1900 is now only relevant for very simple, specialized applications.
