Intel Core i5-10400 vs Intel Processor N95

The Intel Core i5-10400, based on the Comet Lake S architecture and manufactured using the 14 nm process, was introduced as a mainstream desktop processor.

It features 6 cores and 12 threads, offering robust performance for productivity, multitasking, and light gaming. In benchmarks, it shows significantly higher single-core and multi-core performance compared to the Intel Processor N95.

Its Intel UHD Graphics 630 enables basic graphics output and light gaming. With a typically higher TDP, it requires more effective cooling and consumes more power. Its price-performance ratio is particularly attractive in the used market for users seeking solid all-round performance. It supports PCIe Version 3.0 and has 12 MB of L3 Cache, with a maximum memory bandwidth of 43 GB/s.

The Intel Processor N95, manufactured using the 10 nm process with the Alder Lake N architecture, is an efficient processor for cost-effective and power-saving systems. It is equipped with 4 cores and 4 threads and is primarily designed for basic office work, web browsing, and media playback.

Its performance in single-core and multi-core benchmarks is below that of the Intel Core i5-10400, but is sufficient for its target audience. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 16 EUs (Alder Lake) is designed for simple graphics requirements. With its very low TDP, it stands out for its low power consumption and enables fanless designs.

It supports PCIe Version 3.0, has 4 MB of L2 Cache and 6 MB of L3 Cache. The maximum memory bandwidth is 38 GB/s.
