Intel's TwinLake series will be an upgraded version of the AlderLake-N series, with only E cores included on the CPU. The chips have the same core configuration but slightly different clock speeds. Intel is preparing to launch a new TwinLake series of ultra-low-power CPUs. These processors have appeared on sites like Geekbench several times over the past few weeks, and today we received their detailed specifications along with SKU model numbers.

Obviously, TwinLake is not based on a new architecture, but an update to the existing AlderLake-N processor. Like last time, there will be four SKUs this time, and the naming rules are similar. According to the information leaked by @jaykihn0, the four SKUs are N355, N350, N250, and N150. Most of them have appeared on Geekbench before, only coming with 4-8 cores at most.

Since it is targeted at ultra-power-efficient systems, these cores can only be high-efficiency cores. As can be seen from the table, there are not many changes compared to the previous generation product. The TDP is exactly the same, every SKU has the same TDP as the previous generation. The N150 is the slowest chip with a TDP of 6W and a clock speed of 2.9/3.6GHz. Therefore, the turbo frequency is 200MHz higher than that of N100. The iGPU will have the same 24 EUs, but the frequency will be a bit faster at 1GHz compared to the N100's 750MHz.

Compared with the N200's 750MHz frequency, the N250's iGPU frequency has been increased to 1.25GHz, and the Turbo frequency has also been increased by 100MHz. Other than that, there are no other changes to the SKU. As for the N350 and N355, the boost clock and iGPU frequency has increased by 100MHz and is now 1.35GHz, compared to 1.25GHz for AlderLake-N's N300 and N303. TDP, core count, base clock and EU remain unchanged.

Some of these chips have been deployed into mini PCs, such as the Beelink EQ14 Barebone, which is available for only $82. More such systems are expected to follow with the official launch of Intel Twin Lake, but the lineup is more likely to be applied to lower-power devices like Chromebooks or even handheld devices, depending on what kind of performance they can bring to the table.
