Intel Processor U300 vs Intel Processor U300E: Comparison

Processor U300 vs Processor U300E: the p-core boost clock difference

The first real difference is p-core boost clock: Processor U300 4.2 GHz against Processor U300E 4.1 GHz. P-core base clock is not the same on both, 1.2 GHz on the Processor U300 versus 1.1 GHz on the Processor U300E. They differ on market segment too, Laptop on the Processor U300 versus Embedded on the Processor U300E.

Processor U300 vs Processor U300E: which one fits your build

The Processor U300 is the one to take for industrial panel PCs and thin clients, though it is the wrong buy for gaming systems and workstation loads. The Processor U300E suits industrial panel PCs and thin clients, though it is not built for gaming systems and workstation loads. Our rating of the Processor U300 (7.4/10): the Intel Processor U300 is a long-lifecycle embedded processor, built for industrial and commercial systems rather than consumer use. Our rating of the Processor U300E (7.4/10): the Intel Processor U300E is a long-lifecycle embedded processor, built for industrial and commercial systems rather than consumer use.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and tdp read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 10 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Is the L3 Cache the same on the Processor U300 and Processor U300E?

It is. Both are listed at 8 MB, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
