The Intel N100 is a Alder-Lake N chip, based on Intel 7. It's four of the small cores you find on 12-Gen Laptop processors, made with the same process.
It's successor arch, Meteor Lake has only recently launched, so the N100 shouldn't be too far off in terms of efficiency.
- beebeepka 3y agothese small intel cores aren't known for their power efficiency
- nic547 3y agoMostly because the high end intel processors are run at power limits where they're getting extremely diminishing returns, trying to eek out every last bit of performance. In lower power scenarios the little cores can be more efficient than the large ones. And at 6W TDP the N100 is a low power scenario. https://chipsandcheese.com/2022/01/28/alder-lakes-power-efficiency-a-complicated-picture/ https://chipsandcheese.com/2022/01/28/alder-lakes-power-effi...
- beebeepka 3y agoOh, sure. Still not anywhere nearly as good as the latest Zen parts but the n100 mini pcs are very cheap.
