Intel Core Ultra 5 235 vs Intel Processor N150

Last updated:
The Intel Core Ultra 5 235, based on the modern Arrow Lake architecture, is manufactured using an advanced 3 nm fabrication process.

This desktop processor for more demanding applications features a 26 MB L2 cache, a 24 MB L3 cache, and supports PCIe 5.0. Its computing performance, in both single-core and multi-core tasks, significantly surpasses that of the Intel Processor N150.

The integrated Intel Xe 4 Core Graphics with 64 EUs and 102 GB/s memory throughput offers significantly better graphics performance, enabling even light gaming. For its high performance, it requires more power and cooling, but offers a strong price-performance ratio for demanding users. The Intel Processor N150, manufactured using a 7 nm process and based on the Twin Lake architecture, is a desktop processor for energy-efficient and cost-effective systems.

It has a 4 MB L2 cache, a 6 MB L3 cache, and utilizes PCIe 3.0. Its performance in single-core and multi-core tasks is sufficient for basic tasks such as office applications and web browsing, but it is significantly lower than that of the Intel Core Ultra 5 235. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics with 24 EUs and 38 GB/s memory throughput is designed for simple graphics requirements and does not offer comparable gaming performance.

Its focus on efficiency means lower power consumption and an attractive price-performance ratio for budget-conscious users.
