Intel Pentium N3700 is a mobile processor suitable for budget notebooks and Chromebooks. It is part of the Braswell generation from Intel and it’s a successor to the Bay Trail CPUs. The most notable improvement is the manufacturing process – it shares the same technology as the Broadwell family CPUs, 14nm FinFET manufacturing process. The new Braswell family aims to bring more power-efficiency and lower thermals in the lower-end segment of the notebook market.
The Pentium N3700 CPU has 4 cores ticking at 1.6GHz and thanks to the Burst Frequency technology can go up to 2.4GHz. All four cores are designed upon Airmont microarchitecture and share 2MB of L2 cache size. The CPU also integrates 8th generation Intel HD Graphics GPU with a normal frequency of 400MHz and can go up to 700MHz. That makes TDP of 6W for the whole SoC, including the memory controller that can handle up to 8GB of DDR3L-1600. The CPU also supports Virtualization technology, as for the GPU – Intel has implemented support for DirectX 12 and Open GL 4.2. Furthermore, the GPU can handle up to 3 external displays up to 4K resolution, while internally the display must be at 2560 x 1440 via eDP.

So can this cpu run sims 4 at medium settings ?
[…] the testing sample we got is a low-end notebook, the performance may differ from the final unit and Intel’s N3700 is a quad-core CPU so compared to Celeron’s CPUs featuring dual-core design, AMD’s […]
Well.. I know I’m a few years late but thought I’d ask anyway on the off chance that someone sees it. Where did “Intel HD Graphics 5300” come from? Is that just a close equivalent or something? I thought the n3700 was more along the lines of like an Intel 405? Am I missing something?
