Intel Core i7-10710U vs Intel Processor N95

The Intel Core i7-10710U (Comet Lake U) was designed for productivity notebooks. It is manufactured using the 14 nm process, offers six cores, twelve threads, and 12 MB L3 cache with 47 GB/s memory bandwidth.

The Intel Processor N95 (Alder Lake N) targets energy-efficient entry-level devices.

This 10 nm processor features four cores, four threads, 4 MB L2, and 6 MB L3 cache with 38 GB/s memory bandwidth. In performance tests, the Intel Core i7-10710U significantly outperforms the Intel Processor N95 in single and multi-core applications. The N95 offers basic performance for everyday tasks.

Both processors are only very limitedly suitable for gaming. The i7-10710U uses Intel UHD Graphics (Comet Lake), while the N95 uses Intel UHD Graphics 16 EUs (Alder Lake). The higher computing power of the i7-10710U can provide an advantage in simple games. Both CPUs are energy-efficient. The Intel Core i7-10710U (U-series) has a typical TDP of 15 watts.

The Intel Processor N95 (N-series) is optimized for extremely low power consumption, with a TDP of 15 watts or less, ideal for fanless systems. The Intel Core i7-10710U offers higher computing power for demanding productivity. The newer, cost-effective Intel Processor N95 is better suited for basic tasks and power-saving environments.
