Intel® Core™ i3-N300

The Intel Core i3-N300 is a laptop processor with 8 cores and 8 threads, built on the Alder Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2023. Clocks run from 800 MHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5 memory up to 16 GB across 1 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1264 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (9 lanes). Rated TDP is 7 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core i3-N300 scores 1,922 in single-core performance and 7,961 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,912 for overall performance, 7,865 for productivity performance, 7,838 for creator performance, 8,160 for engineering performance and 7,756 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 995 per core, 995 per thread and 1,137 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,479. Its performance index is 48, so its overall performance is 52% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i3-N300 scores 27,379 in integer math, 18,234 in floating-point math, 91,327 in compression, 6,286 in cryptography, 471 in physics simulation, 4,675 in vector SIMD, 21 in the prime sieve and 11,206 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 54% below in integer math, 60% below in floating-point math, 60% below in compression, 45% below in cryptography, 57% below in physics simulation, 70% below in vector SIMD, 69% below in the prime sieve and 51% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i3-N300 has 8 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 0.80 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.

The Intel Core i3-N300 is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i3 family, uses the Alder Lake architecture, carries the codename Alder Lake-N and is manufactured on a Intel 7 process. It launched in Jan 2023.

The Intel Core i3-N300 has 768 KB of L1 cache, 4 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 10.8 MB of cache, or 1.34 MB per core.

The Intel Core i3-N300 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 768 KB, L2 at 4 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 56% of the cache listed here.
