🔍 What Is the Buysave Mecer Xtreme Mini PC Intel N200 Processor?

The Intel N200 is part of Intel’s newer generation of “N-series” processors, introduced as a successor to entry-level chips like the Pentium Silver and Celeron lines. It's a quad-core processor, based on the efficient Gracemont architecture, designed for budget-conscious users who still need modern performance for multitasking, browsing, media playback, light office work, and even some development tasks.

Intel N200 Specs at a Glance:

• Cores/Threads: 4 cores / 4 threads

• Base Frequency: 1.00 GHz

• Turbo Boost: Up to 3.7 GHz

• Cache: 6MB

• Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics (up to 750 MHz)

• TDP: Only 6 Watts

• Max Memory: Supports DDR4

💡 Why the Intel N200 Is the Best of the N-Series Chips

There are several processors in the N-series family (such as the N50, N97, N100, and N200), but the N200 stands above the rest in terms of performance and capability.

1. Best-in-Class Performance in the Series

Among its peers, the N200 boasts:

• Highest clock speed (up to 3.7 GHz)

• Most cache (6MB) for smoother multitasking

• Top-tier integrated graphics for better media and video performance

This means the N200 is faster and snappier than the N100 or N97 in real-world tasks, from launching apps to playing 4K video or working in Microsoft Office.

2. Impressively Energy-Efficient

With a TDP of just 6W, the N200 is incredibly power-efficient. This allows it to run cool and quiet even under load—perfect for mini PC applications where thermal limitations are a concern.

Compared to older Celeron or Pentium chips, the N200 offers superior performance-per-watt, making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option.

3. Modern Architecture for Windows 11

Because it's based on Intel's Gracemont microarchitecture, the N200 fully supports modern security, virtualization, and multitasking features needed for Windows 11 Pro. That makes it a future-proof choice for users looking to stay productive and protected.
