Recently, Intel officially released the mobile platform series processor code-named "Alder Lake-N," in which N305 and N300 are named with the i3 prefix, and N100 / N200 are named with the "Intel" prefix.

We also pay attention to the market trend of thin and light products, looking for products equipped with this series of processors. We found a newly launched thin and light version of "Storm Dragon P3" on Jingdong platform, which is matched with the new face "Intel N100." This product focuses on office, document processing and light entertainment; let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of this product and the actual experience.

terms of design

▲ The overall renderings of Storm Dragon P3, with deep space gray as the main color, aluminum alloy body, the measured weight of the whole machine is 1.40kg, the weight performance in the light and thin market is relatively excellent, the thickness is 16.9mm, not excellent, the performance is satisfactory.

▲ The design of surface A is simple and atmospheric. There are no other elements except LOGO made by UV printing process, which looks calm and atmospheric.

▲ Side B

The B side follows the narrow frame design, the screen ratio is as high as 80%, the bottom of the screen is climbing LOGO, the screen specification is 1920*1080@60Hz, 70% sRGB, the details are relatively good, but also support 180° flip, very good in education, conference scenes.

▲ The C surface is black keycap, the key stroke is short and the key position is large. It feels good to use it. It is a little regrettable that the keyboard area is not equipped with backlight function and the startup key is separated from the biometric fingerprint identification device, so it is impossible to complete the startup + fingerprint login with one button;

It is commendable that the LOGO screen printing in the upper left corner has a very good texture and enhances the overall visual effect.

▲ The fuselage of Storm Dragon P3 also has some design that highlights details. The corners of the fuselage have been rounded, so there is no need to worry about sharp corners.

In addition, in terms of ease of use, there is a groove at the opening position of Storm Dragon P3, which is convenient for users to open the cover with one hand.

As mentioned above, in terms of fuselage design, Storm Dragon P3 has two outstanding performance-supporting 180° opening and closing can be applied to multiple scenes, the whole machine performs well in terms of weight, and the price is extremely advantageous, which makes this product completely able to rank among the fierce thin and light market and win good user attention.

Processor performance release

At room temperature around 25℃, performance mode (modes are best performance/balance/best efficiency), Aida 64 bake test, lasting 40 minutes, Intel N100 based on Gracemont architecture stable operation at 11W power consumption (PL1 power consumption is 18W, PL2 power consumption is 28W), core frequency is 1.1GHz, temperature is 72℃, temperature performance for a 14-inch passive cooling structure of thin and light is relatively excellent, Gracemont architecture processor is mainly energy consumption ratio, for some entertainment players may not meet their needs, but enough to meet most office, online classes, education and other customer groups;

Next, let's look at the software running points.

▲ Cinebench R 20 test, Intel N 100 with Storm P3 has a polynuclear score of 538pts and a single core score of 259pts. As a reference, the previous generation JasperLake Celeron N5105 multi-core score was 477pts, single core 222pts, due to the architecture change, Intel N100 multi-core led the previous generation at lower power consumption by about 12%, single core improved by 16%.

▲ CPU-Z test, Storm Dragon P3 single thread 262.6, multi-thread 1100.5, the previous generation N5105 single thread 262.2, multi-thread 994.4, in such a smooth tuning and lower power consumption, compared to N5105 single thread increased by about 0.15%, multi-thread increased to 10.66%. After all, the N100 frequency is only 0.8GHz,

▲ Let's look at the PCMark10 test of office performance. This is a test simulating multiple daily applications. The load is low. The total score of Storm Dragon P3 is 3249, the common basic functions are 6416, and the productivity is 4497. It meets the daily office, document processing and other use environments.

Processor performance summary: According to the test, the N100 equipped with Storm Dragon P3 has a very good performance due to the passive heat dissipation, and the noise of the whole machine can be easily handled for office applications and multimedia entertainment. Of course, due to the passive cooling structure, the performance tuning of this machine is not radical enough. If it can be adjusted to optimize the performance of active cooling, the overall improvement is about 30% compared with the previous generation N5105.

Conclusion: The most cost-effective new generation of thin and light

At the end of the evaluation, we summarize the product characteristics of Climbing Storm Dragon P3.

The core hardware uses a brand-new generation of Alder Lake-N processors, and the Office three-piece suite is sufficient for daily use.

Can be 180° flip to meet the needs of online classes, video conferences, etc.;

The advantage of market price, especially the endurance performance loop video playback time can reach 10 hours, standby time more than 12 hours;

In general, Climbing Storm Dragon P3 can meet the needs of daily office scenes and meetings well in use, and the revision of the map is also ok.
