Intel Processor N95 features four Alder Lake ‘Gracemont’ efficiency cores

Maybe now when everyone sees the N95 model, they will immediately think of masks, but Intel now has a CPU that is also N95, which is used in the latest batch of NUCs. The full name is Intel Processor N95. In the past, mini computers like Intel were equipped with Pentium or Core series mobile CPUs. What is the origin of this N95?

According to Tom’s Hardware, there is indeed such an Alder Lake-N series CPU on Intel’s ARK, but there are only N100 and N200, and there is no such N95. Intel’s Alder Lake-N processors have recently started to appear in barebones and pre-built systems. It only has four cores and four threads, and all four are “Gracemont” architectures, which are commonly known as E-core. The boost clock can reach 3.7GHz, but the integrated graphics can support 4K/60Hz display output. There is also Quick Sync video decoding.

This kind of configuration is actually the previous Pentium or even Celeron, which meets the needs of daily web browsing and document office. Of course, the performance of the new generation of Alder Lake architecture is still much better than those of the past “Atom”, but under the Intel 7 process, the N95 also has a 15W TDP, which is much worse than other Alder Lake-N series with only 6W power consumption. It is estimated that it is aimed at users who are not so concerned about energy efficiency and only need a functional office computer.

Currently, on AliExpress, there is already an OEM mini-computer equipped with this Intel Processor N95. The product is called Morefine M9. The barebones version costs $190, while the complete machine with 32GB DDR4 memory and 1TB SSD costs US$348.
