Over at Geekbench, the Intel N95 has been tested and the performance is, not that great to be really honest. The N95 features a base frequency of 1.7GHz which went as high as 2.8GHz. In addition, we see 8MB of Cache (6MB L3 + 2MB L2 ). The test bench used the Windows 11 Pro OS along with 8GB of system memory.  Now let’s go over the actual test results. The N95 managed to score 781 points in the single-core test and 1978 points in the multi-core test. For some context, this is lower than some mobile phones. Either way, this test is not comparable to even a 65W CPU because the AL-N series is aimed at low-power desktops. 

Release Date

Intel will announce the AL-N CPUs on the 3rd of January next year as highlighted by a leaked launch/reveal schedule.

These CPUs are expected to be seen in OEM desktops and PCs arriving sometime in Q1 2023. In any case, don’t expect them to do miracles. Besides better ‘used’ options are available in the market such as the i3-12100.
