The Intel N50 CPU, which is part of the Alder Lake-N family, has been benchmarked and has only two E-Cores with a TDP of 6W. Intel’s Alder Lake-N series is aimed towards the lower-end market, featuring numerous CPUs that consume significantly less power. The CPUs used the new E-cores (Gracemont) and replaced the “Pentium” and “Celeron” branding. A new Geekbench listing has revealed what we may expect in terms of performance from the Intel N50 CPU, which is the most entry-level chip in the range.
In terms of specifications, the Intel N50 CPUs have a dual E-Core design, which means they have two cores and two threads with a maximum turbo clock of 3.4GHz. The unifying feature of all Alder Lake-N products is extremely low power consumption; thus, the Intel N50 has only 6W TDP, remaining within the norm. Furthermore, DDR4 memory at 3200 MT/s and DDR5 memory at 4800 MT/s are supported by the SoC.
The Intel N50’s single-core and multi-core performance has been revealed through the Geekbench listing.
We’ve created a graph to highlight the performance differences between individual Alder Lake-N SoCs. The benchmarks show that the Intel N50 CPU is the least expensive in the entire lineup, despite being a two-core model with substantially lower speeds.
One remarkable feature of this SoC is that Intel has included a separate iGPU with a TDP of only 6W. However, the Intel UHD iGPU only has 16 EU, so we shouldn’t anticipate much gaming performance from it. In a prior report, Intel’s N100 iGPU was benchmarked, and it similarly underperformed, averaging 20 FPS in numerous titles.
The Intel Alder Lake-N range is well-suited for low-power computing, particularly in notebooks such as the Chromebook series. It doesn’t have much performance, but given the CPUs’ low TDP, it’s a good choice for many products. The bundled E-Cores are renowned to give great multi-threading performance, as shown in the N100, which makes the series appealing for devices with lower workloads.
