Intel Processor N-series CPU specifications leaked — Intel dishes up paltry clock speed improvements

CPU.

It has been a while since Intel abandoned its long-adored and nostalgic Celeron and Pentium brandings - merging them into what we know today as the "Intel Processor." For the uninitiated, this lineup of CPUs caters to thin and light laptops and the mini-PC market with fanless 6/7W designs. Per momomo_us on X, Intel is planning to refresh its N-series offerings, but don't get your hopes up since they are likely based on Alder Lake silicon.

Under the Alder Lake-N series, Intel launched several processors using an all-efficient core layout under the hood last year. Like their leaked Core 200U/H brethren, Intel is allegedly prepping to refresh these CPUs as well - both rumored to be based on Alder Lake. This is slightly disappointing since home server enthusiasts would have loved to get their hands on a sub-10W Arrow Lake CPU, but that doesn't seem to be the case, at least yet.
