Intel Processor N150

Intel Processor N150

The Intel Processor N150 is the slowest mobile processor of the Twin Lake family. Twin Lake is mostly identical to Alder Lake-N, an architecture that will turn 4 in H2 2025. The N150 is meant for entry-level laptops, tablets and mini PCs with no fans; it offers 4 Efficient (Gracemont) cores that run at up to 3.6 GHz, but no Performance cores. Compared to the N250, the N150 has a significantly slower iGPU and slightly lower CPU clock speeds.

Gracemont E-cores do not support Hyper-Threading. No extra threads here.

Performance

Its multi-thread performance should be about as good as older dual-core CPUs like the Core i3-10110U. Exact figures depend on the cooling solution and TDP settings of the system. Either way, this is a pretty slow chip that is only just fast enough for basic tasks.

Graphics

The SoC comes equipped with a Xe-architecture graphics unit with 24 EUs (Execution Units) running at up to 1.0 GHz. The iGPU can drive up to 3 UHD 2160p monitors and hardware-decodes AV1 among other popular video codecs. Due to the low number of Xe cores and the single-channel RAM restriction, gaming performance is only good enough for very old games and low resolutions such as XGA 1024 x 768.

Architecture and Features

The integrated memory controller supports single-channel DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 and LPDDR5-4800 RAM. PCIe NVMe SSD speeds are capped at 3.9 GB/s, corresponding to the PCIe 3 spec. There is no Thunderbolt / USB 4 support here, however, the latest Intel CNVi Wi-Fi 7 wireless networking modules are supported.

Its L3 cache is relatively small at 6 MB, and it has no proper NPU (and thus no Copilot+ branding).

Power consumption

The N150 is supposed to consume 6 watts when under longer loads. This is the Intel-recommended PL1 for the chip. No data on PL2 has been provided but values higher than 15 W are unlikely.

The SoC is manufactured using the second-generation 10 nm process marketed as Intel 7 meaning power efficiency isn't great here compared to the latest 3 nm silicon from the likes of Apple.

88 TB storage monster in test: Aoostar WTR Pro is a NAS and mini PC in one

A powerful NAS and Mini-PC hybrid that can be used flexibly and is suitable for both simple and demanding tasks - this is exactly what the Aoostar WTR Pro promises. With two processor variants, the economical Intel N100 and the powerful AMD Ryzen 7 5825U, the device is aimed at different user groups. We tested the Aoostar WTR Pro and checked its performance, noise level and energy efficiency.

BMAX B4 Turbo review: Inexpensive mini PC with Intel N150

The B4 Turbo retails for well under $200 to be one of the least expensive ready-to-use mini PCs available without resorting to very old hardware. On the other hand, don't expect to get a lot done on the Twin Lake processor.
