About the Intel Processor N100 CPU

The Intel Processor N100 is a 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2023 with a suggested retail price of $128. It is part of Intel's Intel Processor lineup, which is based on the Alder Lake-N microarchitecture. The Processor N100 is compatible with Intel BGA 1264 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the UHD Graphics 730 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Processor N100 supports DDR4-3200, DDR5 memory and features a single-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 1 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Processor N100 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 96 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Processor N100 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 100.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Processor N100 includes an integrated graphics solution called UHD Graphics 730. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Processor N100 has the 380th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 16.57% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 6,129 score and $128 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 47.88. This is the 53rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Core i7-4558U CPU

The Intel Core i7-4558U is a 2-core (4-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The i7-4558U is compatible with Intel BGA 1168 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 5100 integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-4558U supports DDR3 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i7-4558U has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 4 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-4558U features 2 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.8 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.3 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
