Intel Core i3-N305
The Core i3-N305 is a 8 core CPU from Intel released in 2023. This chip has an average overall score with 2781 points in our CPU benchmark. Our gaming benchmark shows that this CPU is a very good processor for gaming, with a score of 4373 points. As for multitasking and heavy workloads, the Core i3-N305 scores 2279 points and 2166 points respectively. Indeed, this is an average rating for very heavy workloads.
The Core i3-N305 has 8 cores and 8 threads. This chip has no simultaneous multithreading support, as it has the same number of cores as threads. This Intel CPU has a clock speed of 1.8 GHz and a turbo speed of 3.8 GHz : a higher clock speed that can be reached when thermals and power delivery allow.
As for memory, the Core i3-N305 makes use of DDR4-3200 memory. The faster the memory, the better. Faster memory means that the CPU doesn't have to wait to get the data it needs. It can accommodate a maximum of 16 GiB of memory. Furthermore, this chip can handle up to 1 channels of RAM, a multichannel memory architecture allows for higher data transfer between the CPU and the memory. However, to take advantage of this, you must have enough memory slots filled. Error correcting memory is not supported on this processor.
In terms of cache, the Core i3-N305 has 4 MiB of level 2 cache and 6 MiB of level 3 cache. This is a fast memory located close to the processor, which stores copies of frequently used data from main memory.
It has a total of 9 PCIe lanes.
Power and thermals for the Intel Core i3-N305 CPU are a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 15 watts. This measures the amount of heat the processor produces when running at full load. This isn't a measure of power consumption, but it's a good estimate.
