Intel Core i3-7100T vs Intel Processor N150
Last updated:
Summary
Introduction and Specifications:
The Intel Core i3-7100T (Q1 2017, Kaby Lake S) was developed for energy-efficient entry-level desktops.
It uses the 14 nm process, offers 2 cores/4 threads, 3 MB L3 Cache, and Intel HD Graphics 630. Its TDP is 35W. The Intel Processor N150 (Q1 2023, N-Series) targets power-efficient entry-level and mini PCs.
It uses the 7 nm process, 4 efficient cores/4 threads (Twin Lake), 4 MB L2/6 MB L3 Cache, and Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake). Its TDP is 6W. Both support PCIe 3.0. Performance (Single-Core and Multi-Core): The Intel Core i3-7100T offers good single-core performance. However, the Intel Processor N150 significantly outperforms it in multi-core tasks and delivers comparable single-core performance.
Gaming: The Intel HD Graphics 630 of the Intel Core i3-7100T is only suitable for very light games or older titles. The Intel Processor N150 with Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs offers noticeably better performance for casual gaming and media playback. Price/Performance Ratio: The Intel Core i3-7100T is an older processor, primarily relevant in used systems.
The newer Intel Processor N150 offers a better price/performance ratio for modern entry-level tasks. Summary and Recommendation: For improved multi-thread performance, high energy efficiency, and more modern graphics, the Intel Processor N150 is the superior choice, ideal for mini PCs and HTPCs.
The Intel Core i3-7100T is a cost-effective option for simple tasks in older systems.
