Intel® N97

The Intel N97 is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Alder Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2023. Boost clock reaches 3.6 GHz. A 6-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.1 MB per core). It supports DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5 memory. The chip drops into the FCBGA1264 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (9 lanes). Rated TDP is 12 W.

The Intel N97 scores 2,021 in single-core performance and 5,802 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 3,424 for overall performance, 6,601 for productivity performance, 6,829 for creator performance, 5,584 for engineering performance and 7,514 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,451 per core, 1,451 per thread and 484 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 989. Its performance index is 42, so its overall performance is 58% 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 N97 scores 16,636 in integer math, 10,904 in floating-point math, 62,833 in compression, 4,383 in cryptography, 473 in physics simulation, 3,134 in vector SIMD, 24 in the prime sieve and 8,262 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 72% below in integer math, 76% below in floating-point math, 72% below in compression, 62% below in cryptography, 57% below in physics simulation, 80% below in vector SIMD, 64% below in the prime sieve and 64% 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 N97 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 boosts up to 3.60 GHz.

The Intel N97 is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Intel family, uses the Alder Lake architecture, carries the codename Alder Lake and is manufactured on a Intel 7 process. It launched in Jan 2023.

The Intel N97 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 N97 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 N97 supports DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5 memory, uses 1 memory channel and runs memory at up to 4,800 MT/s.

The Intel N97 uses the FCBGA1264 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 9 PCIe lanes.

The Intel N97 has a rated TDP of 12 W.
