Intel Processor N150 vs Intel Celeron N3050

The Intel Celeron N3050 (Braswell architecture, 14 nm) is a processor for basic entry-level devices with two cores, two threads, 2 MB L3 cache, and Intel HD Graphics 400 (26 GB/s memory bandwidth).

The Intel Processor N150 (Twin Lake architecture, 7 nm) for current, energy-efficient entry-level devices offers four cores, four threads, 4 MB L2 and 6 MB L3 cache, and Intel UHD Graphics 24 EUs (Alder Lake) with 38 GB/s memory bandwidth.

In terms of performance, the Intel Processor N150 significantly outperforms the Intel Celeron N3050 in single-core and multi-core performance. For gaming scenarios, the Intel Processor N150 offers improved, but basic, performance for simpler titles thanks to its more modern integrated graphics unit.

Both are not suitable for demanding games. Regarding power consumption, the Intel Processor N150 is more energy-efficient than the 14-nm Intel Celeron N3050 due to its more advanced 7-nm manufacturing process. Both are optimized for low power requirements. The Intel Celeron N3050 is found in very affordable devices.

The Intel Processor N150 offers a better price-performance ratio for current entry-level devices with higher performance. It is the better choice for a more responsive experience in light productivity and media playback, while the Intel Celeron N3050 is suitable for very basic tasks.
