Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Atom C3338 is a specialized processor based on the Denverton architecture. This chip was manufactured using the then-common 14nm process. Intel designed it for environments where reliability and high energy efficiency are equally important. We have often seen it in network attached storage (NAS) or smaller, dedicated server solutions.

Low power consumption is a major advantage of the Intel Atom C3338. This feature made it ideal for systems that need to run continuously. Such devices consume surprisingly little power. Its robust design is another significant plus point. This is especially true for the specific design in 24/7 scenarios.

Even today, this processor is convincing in its specialized applications. Absolute peak performance is often not the most important thing there; rather, constant, reliable computing power counts. The integration of PCIe 3.0 also offered solid expansion options. This was a great advantage for its specific areas of application.

A 4 MB Level-2 cache ensured adequate data processing. The Intel Atom C3338 reliably fulfills its original task. It remains a clear example of a specialized processor.
  • Low power consumption
  • High reliability for continuous operation
  • Ideal for network storage and small servers
  • Solid expansion options thanks to PCIe 3.0
