What is the Intel Core N95 Processor?

The Intel Core N95 is an entry-level, quad-core processor from Intel's line of efficient "Alder Lake-N" chips, designed primarily for compact, low-power devices like mini PCs, thin clients, and embedded systems. It is not part of the high-performance Core i-series but is a capable processor that balances everyday computing needs with excellent thermal efficiency. At its heart, it features 4 CPU cores (4 Performance-cores, no Efficient-cores), can reach a maximum turbo frequency of up to 3.4 GHz, and includes 6 MB of Intel Smart Cache. This architecture allows it to handle common productivity, multimedia, and light business tasks without the need for active cooling in many designs, making it ideal for silent operation.

Key Specifications and Technical Details

The N95 is built on a modern architecture that brings several key features suitable for Thinvent's mini PC lineup:

• Cores/Threads: 4 cores and 4 threads.

• Clock Speed: Base frequency of around 1.7 GHz, with a max turbo frequency of up to 3.4 GHz.

• Cache: 6 MB of L3 cache.

• Integrated Graphics: Features Intel UHD Graphics (based on Xe architecture) with a base frequency of 200 MHz and a dynamic frequency of up to 1.2 GHz, supporting up to 3 independent displays.

• Thermal Design Power (TDP): Has a low TDP of 15W, allowing for fanless or minimally cooled designs.

• Memory Support: Supports up to 16 GB of dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 memory at 3200 MT/s and LPDDR5 at 4800 MT/s.

• Connectivity: The processor supports modern I/O including PCIe Gen 3, USB 3.2, and SATA ports, which manufacturers like Thinvent leverage to provide versatile connectivity options.

Ideal Use Cases and Applications

Due to its efficient power profile and adequate performance, systems powered by the Intel N95 are perfect for specific, high-volume deployment scenarios:

• Digital Signage & Kiosks: Reliable for driving content on multiple displays in retail, hospitality, or public information points.

• Thin Clients & VDI: Excellent for cloud-based computing environments, accessing virtual desktops in offices, call centers, and educational labs.

• Light Office Productivity: Handles web browsing, email, document editing, and video conferencing seamlessly.

• Embedded Industrial Systems: Its low heat output makes it suitable for enclosed spaces in light industrial automation, IoT gateways, and point-of-sale terminals.

• Home Entertainment: Can serve as a compact media center for streaming HD content.
