Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Atom C2550, based on the Avoton architecture, was a notable offering for specific applications when it was introduced. Manufactured using the efficient 22-nanometer process, this processor focused on low power consumption. This made it an ideal choice for systems that operate permanently and reliably in the background.

We often saw it as the centerpiece in compact servers or network storage devices, known as NAS systems. This Atom processor also found a firm place in many embedded solutions. Its ability to deliver consistent performance with minimal energy consumption was its greatest strength. Another advantage was the integrated 2 MB Level-3 cache, which contributed to the overall performance.

Even after all these years, the Intel Atom C2550 remains a viable option for dedicated tasks. It proves that efficiency and reliability can be timeless. Anyone looking for a cost-effective solution for specific, energy-conscious applications will continue to find a solid partner in it.
  • Energy-efficient through 22-nanometer manufacturing
