Intel Alder Lake-N performance test shows that low-voltage processors composed of all-small cores can also play games smoothly.
CTOnews.com, February 9, YouTuber @ ETA Prime has acquired and tested the first batch of devices equipped with the new CPU of the Intel Alder Lake N series.
The latest N100Compact 200and300 processor is a new generation of ultra-low-power mobile platform processors that replace the Pentium / Cayon Nx000 "Jasper Lake" series. They completely adopt the low-power "Atom" design, which is the "Gracemont" core in this batch of Alder Lake chips.
To put it simply, Nx00 CPU does not have a P-core with main performance, but is composed entirely of high-efficiency E-core. The strongest model in the series has an 8-core, 8-thread design, while the devices tested by ETA retain four kernel versions. Officials say this is the latest Alder Lake-N product line.
Intel Alder Lake-N series:
I3-N305:8C / 8T, up to 3.8GHz,32EU iGPU,9-15W TDP
I3-N300:8C / 8T, up to 3.8GHz,32EU iGPU,7W TDP
N200VR 4C / 4T, up to 3.7 GHz,32EU iGPU,6W TDP
N100REX 4C / 4T, up to 3.4 GHz,24EU iGPU,6W TDP
N50VR 2C / 2T, up to 3.4 GHz,16EU iGPU,6W TDP
The MoreFine N9 he got is equipped with N100 processor single-channel DDR4 memory and is only 0.5L in size, which is even smaller than the game console he uses.
The N100 has 4 cores and 4 threads with a main frequency of 3.4 GHz. This SoC has a built-in Intel UHD display and includes 24 main frequency 750MHz execution units.
Although the processor is difficult to meet the operating conditions of ordinary games, he still found some old games to test. CTOnews.com, let's take a look.
It is worth mentioning that this processor has limited RAM support for single-channel DDR4, so there may be a double-digit performance loss for integrated graphics cards.
As a result, it can run some simulator games smoothly, such as Gamecube's "F-Zero GX", PSP's "Ares: the chain of Olympus", PS2 "GT Racing 4" and even WiiU "Angel Hunt 2" (an average of less than 60 FPS), while the average game power consumption is only 16W, idle power is only 4W.
