Intel Processor N50

2C/2T · 3.4 GHz · 6 W

The Intel Processor N50 is an entry-level mobile SoC in the Intel Processor N-series, an Alder Lake-N design with two Gracemont efficiency cores on the Intel 7 process. It boosts to 3.40 GHz, carries 6 MB of cache and a 6 W base power, so it suits thin, inexpensive notebooks, education laptops and compact mini PCs. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics with 16 Xe-LP execution units runs at up to 750 MHz and drives displays at up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz, while a single memory channel supports up to 16 GB of DDR4-3200, DDR5-4800 or LPDDR5-4800.

Notes
Microsoft does not list the Intel Processor N50 on any Windows 11 supported-processor list; only the Processor N100, N200 and N90 series appear there, so Windows 11 is recorded as unsupported. Windows 10 64-bit remains the supported Microsoft client platform for Alder Lake-N. No supported-processor list has been published for version 26H2. macOS is tracked for Apple designed cores only. Linux support for Alder Lake-N is upstream and complete.
