Intel Core Ultra 5 225 vs Intel Processor N150

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is based on the advanced Arrow Lake architecture and is manufactured using the efficient 3 nm process.

It is aimed at users who require high computing power for demanding applications, multitasking, and gaming. With its powerful integrated Intel Xe 4 Core Graphics (64 EUs) and a maximum memory bandwidth of 102 GB/s, it significantly surpasses the Intel Processor N150 in gaming scenarios.

PCIe 5.0 support, a large 26 MB L2 cache, and a 24 MB L3 cache contribute to its excellent single-core and multi-core performance. While higher power consumption can be expected under load, it offers outstanding value for money in its performance class. The Intel Processor N150 uses the Twin Lake architecture and is manufactured using the 7 nm process.

It is designed for entry-level desktops that prioritize energy efficiency and basic computing tasks. Its integrated Intel UHD Graphics (24 EUs) and a memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s are only moderately suitable for gaming. With a 4 MB L2 cache, a 6 MB L3 cache, and PCIe 3.0 support, it delivers basic single-core and multi-core performance sufficient for web browsing, office applications, and media consumption.

It stands out for its low power consumption and offers good value for money for cost-effective systems.
