Intel Processor N100
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Processor N100 is a small and efficient four-core processor intended for inexpensive notebooks and small computers. The processor uses 4 cores of the Intel "Gracemont" design. Intel also uses these cores in the faster processors of the Intel Core i series as E cores.

The clock frequency of the Intel Processor N100 is a low 1.8 GHz. In Turbo mode, the processor can dynamically adapt its clock frequency to the load and waste heat and thus achieve a maximum of 3.4 GHz on one CPU core or a maximum of 3.2 GHz on all cores under load.

The Intel Processor N100 relies on an Intel UHD solution with 24 SM units and 192 shaders for the integrated graphics (iGPU). The graphics are therefore too slow for current and older games. However, the Intel UHD Graphics can accelerate most modern video codecs in hardware and thus play almost all video formats efficiently and smoothly.

The memory controller of the Intel Processor N100 can handle DDR4 and DDR5 (LPDDR5) memory. A maximum of 16 GB of RAM is possible. However, it is quite conceivable that unofficially even 32 to 64 GB of RAM is possible. This was also unofficially possible with the previous models.

The maximum memory bandwidth is a low 38.4 GB per second, which is mainly due to the fact that the Intel Processor N100 only has one memory channel. The PCIe standard is also only supported in version 3 with 9 lines, the current version is PCIe 5.

The processors TDP is a low 6 watts. This allows the Intel Processor N100 to be cooled passively, i.e. without fan noise, without any problems. The processor is manufactured in a 10 nm process at Intel, which Intel itself calls "Intel 7" and compares it with TSMCs 7 nm production.

The Intel Processor N100 has a total of 10 MB cache and was presented in early 2023.
  • High energy efficiency
  • Ideal for compact systems
  • Solid performance for everyday tasks
  • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics
