"Build a High-Performance, Energy-Efficient PC with Intel's N100 Processor and Asus Prime N100I-D Motherboard"
The Intel Processor N100, one of the four Alder Lake-N chips, offers 4 E-Cores, 65W quad-core performance at just 6W, and competes on par with older Core i5 chips at sub-10W. The E-Core design lacks SMT capabilities but delivers good multi-threading performance while keeping chips efficient. Intel has been using E-Cores on two generations and will continue doing so in the future while AMD also plans to adopt a similar approach for its future CPU lineups.
