Intel Processor N100 vs Intel Processor N95: Comparison

Processor N100 vs Processor N95: the tdp difference

The first real difference is tdp: Processor N100 6 W against Processor N95 15 W. There is a split on base power as well, 6 W on the Processor N100 versus 15 W on the Processor N95.

Who each one is for

Buy the Processor N100 for fanless mini-PCs and digital signage, though it is the wrong buy for gaming systems and heavy multitasking. The Processor N95 is the one to take for fanless mini-PCs and digital signage, though it is not built for gaming systems and heavy multitasking. Our rating of the Processor N100 (6.9/10): the Intel Processor N100 is a bare-bones embedded chip, well suited to fanless, low-power appliance designs. Our rating of the Processor N95 (6.9/10): the Intel Processor N95 is a bare-bones embedded chip, well suited to fanless, low-power appliance designs.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and p-core boost clock read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 11 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is the E-Core Boost Clock the same on the Processor N100 and Processor N95?

It is. Both are listed at 3.4 GHz, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
