The upcoming Intel Core i3-N300 is an upcoming entry-level mobile processor that only has "Gracemont" E-cores, no P-cores, and yet somehow isn't branded under Atom or Pentium Silver. This isn't just because Intel retired the entry-level brands in favor of a generic "Intel Inside" brand to be used on entry-level notebooks; but very likely because of the way these chips are architected.
The i3-N300 and i3-N305 were spotted in separate Geekbench submissions discovered by Benchleaks. The chip is identified as having 8 cores and 8 logical processors (threads), but its cache is identified as being 4x 64 KB L1I, with 4x 32 KB L1D, 1x 2 MB L2, and 1x 6 MB L3. It's possible that the chip's design is very similar to a conventional "Alder Lake" processor—with a centralized L3 cache and client interconnect fabric, an uncore, and an iGPU; but with no P-cores, just the two "Gracemont" E-core clusters, each with 2 MB of L2 cache shared among 4 cores.
"Gracemont" lacks HyperThreading support, which makes this chip 8-core/8-thread. The chip comes with clock speeds of 1.80 GHz base, with 3.80 GHz boost. The chip scores a fairly high single-thread Geekbench number of 1025 points, but with 4420 points multi-thread. This would put the processor's performance roughly on-par with AMD "Renoir" Ryzen 4000-series mobile processors in the multi-threaded score; but its single-threaded score is quite-something, on par with a "Cezanne" Ryzen 5000-series mobile chip.
