Why Intel® Twin Lake Processors? The New Generation for Industrial Edge Computing

2026.01.28

SINTRONES Intel Twin Lake embedded system series: SBOX-2625 and VBOX-3132 industrial computers.

Are you seeking a reliable embedded system that delivers high performance with low power consumption at a budget-friendly cost? The SINTRONES embedded system — powered by the Intel® Twin Lake processor, the latest generation of Intel’s Processor N-series — is a choice you’ll never regret.

 

As the successor to the Alder Lake-N lineup, the Twin Lake family introduces two new CPUs: a Quad-core model optimized for ultra-low power consumption and an Octa-core model designed for enhanced performance. These future-ready processors also ensure product availability for up to 10 years, through 2034 — making them ideal for industrial applications that demand extended lifecycle and long-term support.

 

New Quad-Cores, Ultra-Low 6W TDP

Built on four efficient cores (E-cores), the Twin Lake N150 achieves superior performance per watt with a thermal design power (TDP) of only 6W — 50% lower than its predecessor, the Alder Lake N97. This low-power design is especially suitable for large-scale system deployments in factory and retail environments. By cutting CPU power consumption in half, organizations can significantly reduce energy usage, lowering total cost of ownership (TCO) over time.

 

 

Performance Where It Counts

For heavier workloads, the Intel® Core™ 3 Processor N355 provides exceptional value with a max turbo frequency of 3.9GHz and GPU clock speeds up to 1.35GHz. The Twin Lake Octa-core CPU delivers a 10% boost in multi-threaded performance compared to the Alder Lake Core™ i3-N305, while maintaining the same efficient power profile. This performance uplift ensures greater efficiency and value without increasing energy consumption.

 

 

10-Year Product Longevity Lifecycle Support

Launched in early 2025—two years after Alder Lake-N—the Twin Lake series provides product lifecycle support until 2034. With long-term availability and consistent support, this evolution of Intel’s low-power CPU series is particularly suited for embedded and industrial applications that demand system longevity, continuous supply, and dependable service.

 

Key Takeaways

Intel® Twin-Lake processors deliver clear advantages over their predecessors — helping business decision-makers invest confidently in industrial PCs and embedded systems built for resilience and long-term stability. The following comparison highlights these advantages side by side.
