Intel Processor N97 vs AMD Ryzen 5 7400F

The Intel Processor N97 is a processor based on the Alder Lake N architecture, manufactured in 10 nm, primarily developed for energy-efficient and basic computing tasks in compact systems.

It features four cores and four threads, 4 MB Level 2 and 6 MB Level 3 cache. Its maximum memory bandwidth is 38 GB/s and it supports PCIe 3.0. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics with 24 EUs (Alder Lake) enables basic graphics tasks. In benchmarks, the Intel Processor N97 shows solid performance for everyday applications, but is not designed for demanding tasks like gaming.

Its low power consumption makes it ideal for systems where efficiency is paramount. The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is based on the advanced Raphael (Zen 4) architecture and is manufactured using the 5 nm process.

It is a mainstream processor with six cores and twelve threads, designed for high performance in gaming and productive applications. It offers 6 MB Level 2 and 32 MB Level 3 cache, supports PCIe 5.0, and achieves a maximum memory bandwidth of 83 GB/s. Compared to the Intel Processor N97, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F delivers significantly higher computing power in single-core and multi-core scenarios, making it the clear choice for demanding games and intensive multitasking workloads.

It requires a dedicated graphics card and consumes more power, but offers considerably better performance per euro for demanding users.
