Intel Atom N435 vs Apple S6 vs Intel Atom D525
Intel Atom N435
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Atom N435 is a small and cheap entry level CPU for Netbooks and small laptops. In the package is an integrated memory controller for DDR2/DDR3 main memory and the GMA 3150 graphics card.
The performance of the whole system (Atom N435 and integrated GMA 3150) is only sufficient for basic tasks like surfing the web, or office working. HD video, video cutting, advanced photo editing, multitasking and of course gaming may overstrain the GPU and CPU. Compared to the previous Atom generation, the performance of the CPU is on a level with the slow Atom Z520.
An advantage of the interation, is the small overall power consumption of the CPU, GPU and memory controller (only 5 Watt TDP). Therefore, the chip is ideally used in small Netbooks and thin laptops.
Apple S6
► remove from comparisonThe Apple S6 is a 64-Bit dual core processor for the Apple Watch Series 6 (40 and 44mm). It integrates a GPU, 32 GB flash memory, Bluetooth 5.0, 1 GB RAM, 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi and satellite positioning (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS). According to Apple the SiP has two CPU cores based on the Apple A13 and offers 20% more performance than the old Apple S5 in the Watch Series 5.
Intel Atom D525
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Atom D525 is a dual core processor that is intended for nettops, but also used in netbooks (like the Asus Eee PC 1215N). It consists out of two Atom cores clocked at 1.8 GHz and due to HyperThreading, the D525 is able to process four threads at a time. The D525 misses Speedstep and is therefore running at 1.8 GHz all the time (and using a lot more power than other Atoms without load).
In the processor package, the Atom D525 has an integrated DDR2/DDR3 memory controller and the GMA 3150 called graphics card.
The performance of the D525 can be on a level of slow clocked single core CPUs like the Intel SU2700 or AMD K125 if both cores are used. In single threaded applications, the performance is clearly worse and only on the level of a 1.8 GHz Atom CPU.
