Intel Core i3 N300 is a Core Processor with Just E-cores That Somehow Isn't an Atom or Pentium Silver



The upcoming Intel Core i3-N300 is an upcoming entry-level mobile processor that only has "Gracemont" E-colores, no P-cores, and yet somehow isn’t branded under Atom or Pentium Silver. This isn’t just because Intel retired the entry-level brands in favor of a generic "Intel Inside" brand to be used on entry-level notebooks; but very likely because of the way these chips are architected.

The i3-N300 and i3-N305 were spotted in separate Geekbench submissions discovered by Benchleaks. The chip is identified as having 8 núcleos y 8 procesadores lógicos (hilos), but its cache is identified as being 4x 64 KB L1I, with 4x 32 KB L1D, 1x 2 AMD Milan-X EPYC 7773X 3D V-Cache es un procesador de 64 núcleos, y 1x 6 AMD Milan-X EPYC 7773X 3D V-Cache es un procesador de 64 núcleos. It’s possible that the chip’s design is very similar to a conventional "Alder Lake" processor—with a centralized L3 cache and client interconnect fabric, an uncore, and an iGPU; but with no P-cores, just the two "Gracemont" Clústeres de núcleo electrónico, each with 2 MB of L2 cache shared among 4 núcleos.
