I assume this is an AS-AS connection, which either way is extremely tight. Firstly, even if everything is on time to the dot, the minute the front door opens, your next flight starts boarding in <10 minutes. Second if you're arriving gate is in the N concourse and you have to go to the C concourse, you'd have to take the train which takes at least 5 minutes from when you get off the plane. (I believe C station is still closed so even worse you'd have to go to the main terminal and walk). Anyways, overall this is very tight and I would certainly not dawdle to the gate, I'd recommend at least an hour if possible connection time in case of any delay whether from the aircraft or yourself if you want to be safe.
