Intel Core i3-10110U vs Intel Processor N95

The Intel Core i3-10110U (Comet Lake U) was developed for energy-efficient mobile devices, manufactured using the 14-nm process.

The Intel Processor N95 (Alder Lake N) is designed for compact, efficient systems, manufactured using the 10-nm process.

The Intel Core i3-10110U features 2 cores and 4 threads with 4 MB L3 cache. The Intel Processor N95 offers 4 cores and 4 threads with 4 MB L2 and 6 MB L3 cache. The Intel Processor N95 shows significantly higher single-core performance in Cinebench R23 and considerably better multi-core performance in Geekbench 6.

The Intel Core i3-10110U shows slightly higher multi-core performance in Cinebench R23. For gaming, both CPUs with their integrated graphics units (UHD Graphics Comet Lake and UHD Graphics 16 EUs Alder Lake respectively) are only suitable for undemanding or older titles. The graphics performance of the Intel Processor N95 is slightly superior in this regard.

Both processors are designed for low power consumption. The Intel Processor N95 benefits from its more efficient 10-nm manufacturing process, leading to better energy efficiency compared to the 14-nm process of the Intel Core i3-10110U. The Intel Processor N95 offers better value for money in current systems.

The Intel Core i3-10110U is primarily found in older or heavily discounted devices. For modern, efficient entry-level systems with balanced performance, the Intel Processor N95 is the more recommendable choice. The Intel Core i3-10110U is suitable for basic tasks in very budget-friendly or existing devices.
