Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Atom C3950, a chip of the Denverton architecture, was designed for demanding tasks. As a sixteen-core processor, it offered solid multitasking performance. Manufactured using the 14-nanometer process, it was also extremely energy-efficient. This combination made it a good choice for microservers and network devices.

It also found its place in many embedded systems. A generous 16 MB L2 cache supported the cores in the rapid processing of data. With a memory bandwidth of 38 GB/s, it was well able to meet the requirements of its areas of application. We have seen how stably these processors work in permanent setups.

The integration of PCIe 3.0 also offered flexible expansion options for a wide range of hardware. The Intel Atom C3950 represented a mature package for dedicated applications.
