A i3 that's 2 years older performs better. Even with an ssd and 8gb of ram anything powered by this CPU is nothing but frustration.

Just bought this in a 11.6 inch tablet and WOW. Keeping in with my expectations it actually blew me away. I use it for daily web development, photoshop, Media Playback, and it hasn't hindered me in anyway. I can remote into my desktop if I need more power. Also, with the keyboard its great in tablet mode. Had DOOM 3 running at 1080p getting 30-46 fps at 1080p. Old title yes but these are low spec's. For everyday use this CPU is no slouch. It will multitask with ease with 8GB. Keep your expectations in line and this chip will be fine!! Enjoy!!

I got it in tablet.. just 6w consumption so it runs up to 10 hours. Power enough for document work, web browsing and work with two full HD displays. Perfect for games like chess or tetris :).

best CPU for tablet laptops more battery life like 14 hours and fanless you can even play game like gta vice city at smooth 60 to 70 fps also good for multitasking and school or offices works WORTHS MONEY!FINE ENJOY!

For nearly any use with a laptop, this CPU is the real deal!! I have purchased a dell-refurbished DELL 3190 with N5000 cpu and 8GB RAM, with a heat-efficient reliable 128GB m.2 SSD. This laptop is fan-less. The performance of the CPU is noticeably better than my other laptop (i7-4500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SATA SSD). I have run Office 365 programs, AUTOCAD 2017, and image processing of large image files. Eagerly waiting for the successor CPU...

Good balance between TDP, performance and price.

 Frequently Asked Questions

 Best User Rated

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
