A recent Geekbench 5 OpenCL score for Intel’s upcoming Core 3 N350 processor has emerged on X, offering us a glimpse into its potential graphics capabilities. It appears that the N350 will be utilizing Intel’s previous generation integrated graphics technology.
Graphics Performance Overview
The GPU of the N350 achieved a score of 6,191 points in the benchmark test. To give you a better perspective, here’s how it compares to several other graphics solutions:
It’s important to note that these are preliminary benchmarks, meaning the ultimate performance might differ. Additionally, synthetic benchmarks don’t always accurately reflect the real-world experience of using the hardware.
Implications for Core 3 CPUs
If these scores hold true, they indicate that the Core 3 CPUs may deliver mediocre graphics performance, a contrast to Intel’s Core Ultra series, which features more advanced graphics and includes built-in Neural Processing Units (NPUs).
The absence of an NPU in the Core 3 lineup might not be a significant concern for many users. However, if the graphics performance genuinely falls short, it could deter budget-conscious individuals in need of satisfactory integrated graphics.
