Intel Core Ultra X7 358H vs Intel Processor N150: Comparison
What is the difference between Core Ultra X7 358H and Processor N150?
L3 cache is where these two genuinely part company, Core Ultra X7 358H 18 MB against Processor N150 6 MB, a 67% lead for Core Ultra X7 358H. Measured rather than claimed: in Blender Cycles (CPU) the Core Ultra X7 358H returns 281 against 33 over 12 runs, a 88% lead. They differ on p-core base clock too, 1.9 GHz on the Core Ultra X7 358H versus 0.1 GHz on the Processor N150. Tdp is not the same on both, 25 W on the Core Ultra X7 358H versus 6 W on the Processor N150. They differ on socket too, FCBGA2540 on the Core Ultra X7 358H versus BGA 1264 on the Processor N150.
Who each one is for
Take the Core Ultra X7 358H for thin laptops that rely on 12 Xe3-core Arc graphics instead of a discrete GPU. It is equally the pick for multitasking and creative work using 16 cores with a boost up to 4.8 GHz. Avoid it for systems that need DDR5 SO-DIMM memory, as this chip is listed for LPDDR5x. Buy the Processor N150 for fanless mini-PCs and digital signage, though it is not the pick for gaming systems and heavy multitasking. Our rating of the Processor N150 (6.9/10): the Intel Processor N150 is a bare-bones embedded chip, well suited to fanless, low-power appliance designs.
What Core Ultra X7 358H and Processor N150 have in common
The common ground is wider than the gap: integrated graphics, form factor, market segment and smt enabled are identical here.
Frequently asked questions
Do the Core Ultra X7 358H and Processor N150 differ on total cores?
