Intel® N250

The Intel N250 is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Twin Lake architecture. Clocks run from 1.3 GHz base to 3.8 GHz boost. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.1 MB per core). It supports DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5 memory. It uses the FCBGA1264 socket. Rated TDP is 6 W.

The Intel N250 scores 1,782 in single-core performance and 4,631 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,873 for overall performance, 5,505 for productivity performance, 5,755 for creator performance, 4,457 for engineering performance and 6,504 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,158 per core, 1,158 per thread and 772 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,173. Its performance index is 36, so its overall performance is 64% 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 N250 scores 15,598 in integer math, 9,956 in floating-point math, 47,880 in compression, 3,426 in cryptography, 348 in physics simulation, 2,358 in vector SIMD, 21 in the prime sieve and 5,859 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 74% below in integer math, 78% below in floating-point math, 79% below in compression, 70% below in cryptography, 68% below in physics simulation, 85% below in vector SIMD, 69% below in the prime sieve and 74% 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 N250 has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 1.30 GHz and boosts up to 3.80 GHz.

The Intel N250 is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Intel family, uses the Twin Lake architecture and carries the codename Twin Lake.

The Intel N250 has 384 KB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 6 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 8.4 MB of cache, or 2.10 MB per core.

The Intel N250 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 384 KB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 6 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 72% of the cache listed here.

The Intel N250 supports DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5 memory, uses 1 memory channel and runs memory at up to 4,800 MT/s.

The Intel N250 includes integrated graphics (UHD Graphics) and clocks the graphics up to 1.25 GHz.

The Intel N250 uses the FCBGA1264 socket.

The Intel N250 has a rated TDP of 6 W.
