Intel Pentium N3700 Entry-Level CPU – Laptop Processors
The Intel Pentium N3700 is an entry-level quad-core processor for affordable laptops and 2-in-1 convertibles. It is noticeably faster than the lowest-end chips, such as the Intel Celeron dual-core series, but is still a low-end part suitable only for the basic home and office computing tasks.
The Pentium N3700 from the new 14-nanometer “Braswell” CPU family isn’t faster than its precursors, the Pentium N3500 series 22-nanometer “Bay Trail” chips. However, “Braswell” brings to the table improved Intel HD integrated graphics version for somewhat smoother but still only entry-level gaming and better support for high-def 4K video playback, while having a lower power consumption. The N3700 consumes 6 Watts, as opposed to previous 7.5W.
The CPU has a base clock speed of 1.6GHz, whcih can “burst” up to 2.4GHz for a short period of time if needed. There’s also a Pentium N3710 version which is basically the same chip with burst frequency of up to 2. 56GHz for slightly better performance.
Check out laptops with the Pentium N3700.
Note: The benchmark scores of the listed processors are averages measured across various devices with these processors. The scores and real-world performance of the Intel Pentium N3700 and compared CPUs may vary depending on the notebooks’ other components, settings, cooling, and other factors.

Intel Pentium N3700 processor — specifications and my opinion about it
Hello everyone I have always liked Intel processors more, but not because they are more productive than AMD. Well, that’s good too, but I don’t like that, but the fact that Intel has processors that consume minimal energy, but are quite suitable for office tasks. No, of course AMD also has a minimum TPD, but not as much as Intel.
I recently read that AMD’s market share does not exceed 20% compared to Intel — I don’t know if this is true, but it seems to be true. If this is so, then I don’t even know what will happen to AMD in the future, and to be honest, I don’t quite understand why this is the case.
After all, it seems to me that the point here is not at all that Intel is better or cooler. AMD has their own similarly priced models, but they just use more power. Although, I’m probably mistaken, because if you take top processors, then Intel will certainly be more powerful. But why is that? Doesn’t AMD have cool specialists there? That’s exactly what I don’t understand. Well, okay, these are just my thoughts and nothing more..
- Intel Pentium N3540 processor — specifications and my opinion about it
Thoughts, thoughts, but I didn’t want to write about this, but about the mobile processor Intel Pentium N3700. I will say right away that I am not going to lie to you, I am not a very cool specialist in these processors, but I have some experience in using them. The fact is that this N3700 comes from the Atom family. And if the first Atom mobile processors were really slow, now Intel has more or less learned how to make them, and that’s probably why they even renamed them Pentium.
I will not say that this is the former Atom, but the fact that this is a continuation of the line is for sure.
Screenshot of CPU-Z utility with N3700 info:
ADVERTISING
So, what do we have in terms of Intel Pentium N3700. The main trump card of the processor, as well as of the entire Atom family, is low consumption, it is equal to 6 watts here. This is very small, so much so that I think that probably a computer based on this processor with a small monitor could work from a UPS for quite a long time. That is, again, such a mini-computer in terms of power consumption, in addition to watching movies, can also be useful for non-standard tasks.
The cache here is of the second level and is equal to 2 MB, the volume is normal, for example, the desktop model Celeron 1820 has the same amount on the 1150th socket. Although, of course, this Celeron is more powerful than the mobile Pentium N3700.
Low TDP is due to the fact that the processor is made according to the 14 nm process technology. There are 4 cores and there are no more threads, as could be found in Atom processors. But, the fact that they were there, well, in Atom, it didn’t really help them, although Intel introduced them precisely for this. Unfortunately, the Atom processors had some problems internally and Intel thought to fix them with Hyper-threading technology.
The lack of threads is not so bad, as a result, four Pentium N3700 cores are displayed in Windows, but these are real cores
Frequency. Here it is a little better, the base frequency is 1.6, but can be raised if necessary up to 2.4 GHz. This is less than that of the Pentium J2900, which is made according to the 22 nm process technology, but at the same time its frequency can be increased up to 2.66 GHz (TDP is 10 watts).
Let’s move on, RAM. Here there is already a small jamb, though controversial. The maximum you can shove, as I understand it, is only 8 gigs, this is precisely the limitation of the processor, so do not be surprised that there is one memory slot on the motherboard.
If there are two, then don’t be surprised either, 8 gigs is the maximum, just a percent supports dual-channel memory operation. On the other hand, with such a mobile processor, it is unlikely that more than 8 gigs will be needed …
And if we have almost no problems with USB, it can support up to 5 connectors of both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, but with SATA ports it’s a bit poor — only two ports. But again, this problem is easily solved by the motherboard manufacturer, who can easily supply his own chip and you will have six SATA ports. This is the solution that can be found in ASRock motherboards.
By the way, the Pentium N3700 is designed for socket 1170, you should note that.
Damn, I wanted to write everything, but I already forgot what exactly
Why do I personally think the Pentium N3700 processor is not bad? Well, look, the processor itself is based on the Braswell core, it’s like Bay Trail modified in miniature.
In general, there is nothing particularly new compared to, for example, the Pentium J2900 model in the Pentium N3700.
There is only one difference, and it seems to be the main one, because it is it that affects the coolness of mobile processors. This is a manufacturing process, the J2900 has 22 nm, and the N3700 has 14. As a result, less consumption, less heat, and perhaps slightly better performance. I watched the tests so J2900 slightly outperforms the N3700 in many tests. Of course, it makes no sense to compare the N3700 with mobile Celerons, it will be better than
If you look from the side of Intel graphics, then the Braswell core is already using the eighth generation. The maximum frequency of the graphics core is 700 MHz, and the base frequency is 400 MHz.
What is the N3700 suitable for? How will games behave on the N3700? Well, I’ll say right away that it’s better not to take this processor for games. Although what to take there, usually the processor is already built-in on the motherboard. If for office tasks, for watching movies, then it will be enough. I still have an Atom 330, and with its 4 streams it’s enough to watch most movies in 1080 quality.
Yes, working in the office is not a problem either. But the Atom 330 is, to put it mildly, an outdated model compared to the N3700. Its chip is in consumption, the computer will generally consume a minimum in the end. Just think, the N3700 processor consumes less than many hard drives. It is possible that this is where it would make sense to take an SSD already, not only because of speed, but also because of consumption, in order to create a super economical computer.
By the way, my computer on Atom 330 is almost silent, because there is no point in cooling the processor, a fan in the power supply is enough. Of course, the situation with the N3700 is the same.
For example, this test clearly shows how much faster the N3700 is than the Atom D525:
ADVERTISING
Although the Atom 330 is still a bit slower than the D525, you can imagine the Pentium N3700: certainly not a rocket, but far from being a turtle.
Here is another test, here also the N3700 is faster than the D525:
But in this test you can see how N3700 lags behind the Celeron G1840 desktop processor (1150 socket):
ADVERTISING
It turns out that, roughly speaking, it is about two times weaker than G1840. I roughly understand what kind of performance this is, it would be enough for me for my office tasks. Just had enough. Not too much, but enough. It’s just that the G1840 is a Celeron, but a regular Celeron and a mobile one, this is a very big difference in performance, this is for you to note.
Here you can see what are the differences between Pentium N3700 and i3-4010U (also mobile model):
ADVERTISING
The frequency of the i3-4010U is less, 1.7 GHz, and only two cores (but there are threads), but here is a TDP of 15 watts.
But I will say right away that it is faster than the N3700 by about 25% (especially in games), and in some tasks it is even almost the same. This only confirms that the N3700 has decent performance for non-gaming tasks.
From myself, I’ll be honest, well, that’s my personal opinion. Looking at how the Windows 10 Atom 330 pulls, I’m sure that the N3700 will do it perfectly. By the way, I have this Atom 330 on the Zotac IONITX-D-E motherboard, of course it is already soldered there. Made by Atom 330 on 45 nm process technology, there are only 2 cores, but there are threads. In general, I mean that this Atom page somehow still pulls Windows 10, then the N3700 is sure that it will pull normally along with the office. Well, with films, of course, there will be no problems. But the games, well, here I think it will be bad, modern ones — no way, the old ones can also be at the minimum settings. Well, mobile processors were not created for this
By the way, what about N3700 vs J1900.
