Intel Processor N250 vs Intel Processor N95: Comparison

Processor N250 vs Processor N95 e-core boost clock compared

The first real difference is e-core boost clock: Processor N250 3.8 GHz against Processor N95 3.4 GHz. There is a split on tdp as well, 6 W on the Processor N250 versus 15 W on the Processor N95. Release year is not the same on both, 2025 on the Processor N250 versus 2023 on the Processor N95. They differ on base power too, 6 W on the Processor N250 versus 15 W on the Processor N95.

Who each one is for

Buy the Processor N250 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 N250 (6.9/10): the Intel Processor N250 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

The common ground is wider than the gap: total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and p-core boost clock are identical here. They match on 9 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is the P-Core Base Clock the same on the Processor N250 and Processor N95?

It is. Both are listed at 0.1 GHz, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
