Intel Pentium N3700
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Pentium N3700 provided a solid foundation in 2015. This processor belongs to the Braswell generation. Manufactured using the then-modern 14nm process, it scored points with its remarkable energy efficiency. This often allowed for fanless device concepts. Thus, notebooks and mini-PCs remained very quiet during operation.

A clear advantage for daily use, especially in quiet environments. Another decisive advantage of the Intel Pentium N3700 was the integrated graphics unit. The Intel HD Graphics 405 with 16 execution units was perfectly adequate for many everyday tasks. Web browsing, word processing, and HD video playback ran smoothly with it.

For users of entry-level devices, this was absolutely sufficient and provided a pleasant user experience. Additionally, the chip has 2 MB Level-3 cache. A maximum memory bandwidth of 26 GB/s supported these applications well. The Pentium N3700 reliably met basic computing needs without straining the budget.

  • High energy efficiency
  • Integrated graphics unit (Intel HD Graphics 405)
  • Suitable for everyday computing needs
