Intel Core i7-8650U vs Intel N150

Core i7-8650U vs N150 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8650U performs better than the N150. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the N150 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8650U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-8650U has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the N150. The info from our database shows that the N150 has more L2 cache than the Core i7-8650U. Despite this, the Core i7-8650U has slightly more L3 cache compared to the N150.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-8650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
