Introducing Our Latest N-Series in Education

At Intel, we are driven by a profound mission: to create world-changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on Earth. Education holds a special place in our hearts, serving as a testament to our unwavering commitment to empowering the next generation of learners. We recognize technology's important role in shaping the educational landscape, and we are thrilled to announce our latest innovation – the new Intel N-Series Processors.

The "Why" Behind Our Innovation

The educational landscape is constantly evolving, demanding technology that can keep pace with the changing needs of students and educators. ?At Intel, our "why" in education extends beyond simply supporting devices. It's about fostering a lifelong love of learning, bridging the digital divide, and equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly digital world. ??As we have learned from the Pandemic, we believe technology should never be a barrier to access and opportunity. ?This is why we are committed to creating solutions that are powerful, affordable, and accessible to all students and educators. This new introduction of processors in in service of that.

Keeping Students on Task: A Case Study

We believe it is critical to help keep students on task in the classroom. Our technology aims to save teachers time by streamlining classroom management and ensuring students remain focused on their learning activities. In fact, we have a video available that demonstrates how the previous generation of our processors, Intel N100, performs in this regard.? Here is a summary of the results from a recent test that we did outside of Intel: ??

• Opening a Minecraft Education World: The Intel Processor N100 is 22.98% faster when launching Minecraft Education.. This means less waiting time for students and teachers, enabling quicker access to immersive learning experiences that foster creativity and collaboration.
• Notetaking and Google Meet: We are seeing that the N100 is 17.4% faster than the competition when multitasking scenarios such as notetaking while participating in virtual discussions. This enhanced speed ensures that students can transition smoothly between tasks, minimizing interruptions and maximizing learning efficiency.

As you will see in the video overall, the Intel Processor N100 provides superior speed and efficiency across various educational tasks. I bring this up mainly to highlight that the NEW Intel N series line-up builds on this foundation with competitive real-world performance that matters in the classroom.? ?

Introducing the New Intel N-Series: Designed for a New Minimum Baseline in Learning

The new Intel N-Series processors, formerly codenamed Twin Lake, represent a step forward in educational technology from Intel. These processors deliver a blend of performance, connectivity, and battery life. With options ranging from 4 to 8 efficient cores, including the Intel Core 3 as our top bin product, these processors are designed to redefine the learning experience.

• Unlocking Student Potential: The new N-Series processors are engineered to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes by providing reliable performance for educational applications and multimedia content.
• Seamless Connectivity Anywhere: Featuring state-of-the-art connectivity options such as Intel Wi-Fi 6E (Gig+) or Wi-Fi 7 for unparalleled wireless performance, along with Bluetooth 5.4 with extended range and ICM SW for smooth and reliable networking performance. These advancements ensure that students can seamlessly connect to online resources, collaborate with peers, and engage in interactive learning experiences.
• Empowering Uninterrupted Learning: Improved battery life is essential for today’s mobile learners. The new Intel N-Series processors are engineered for power efficiency, allowing students to learn, create, and explore without interruption.
• Prioritizing Student Data Security: Protecting student data is paramount. The new Intel N-Series processors incorporate enhanced security features, including below-the-OS safeguards, to defend against evolving threats and ensure a safe and secure learning environment.

Building on the strong foundation of our previous generation, this refreshed lineup brings enhanced performance, improved efficiency, and cutting-edge connectivity to meet the ever-evolving demands of modern education.

A Part of a Comprehensive Portfolio for Education

The N-Series processors are part of Intel's broader portfolio designed to meet diverse educational needs in both K12 and Higher Education. From students to educators and staff, Intel offers tailored solutions that prioritize performance, security, battery life, or affordability. While not a part of Intel's AI PC category, the N-series line of processors complements other innovations like the Core Ultra Series 2 products (codenamed Lunar Lake).

Final Thoughts: We Will Be at Bett'25

Intel’s N-Series processors represent a significant step forward in supporting the future of education by enabling students to excel in a digital-first world. With a powerful combination of performance, seamless connectivity, and robust security features, these processors not only enhance the learning experience for students but also empower educators to focus on teaching without technological barriers. This innovation underscores Intel’s dedication to fostering engagement, productivity, and equitable access to education technology.

On behalf of the Intel team, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the OEMs, for their collaboration in bringing these products to market on both Windows and ChromeOS platforms. Their partnership is instrumental in delivering solutions that meet the diverse needs of modern classrooms.

As an Innovation Partner at Bett in London later this month, Intel eagerly anticipates engaging with the global education community and our partners. Together, we aim to explore new ways to deliver exceptional learning experiences and continue shaping the future of education with our products.
