N3350 is from the Atom product line, which, IMO, is only suitable for embedded / thin clients. It does not tell much if an i7, even very dated, beats it.

- doubled112 4y agoI agree about what the CPU was good for, but I think the situation does tell us something. The problem is that they were putting those in $300 and $400 Windows laptops and selling them to people who didn't know better at BestBuy. Shouldn't a new $400 laptop be able to open Outlook in less than a minute? There used to be enough improvement over time where a budget chip would at least be comparable to a decent chip from a few years back. Now you're stuck comparing chips across most of a decade to see if performance is actually any better.
