The Intel Atom C2338 is a embedded processor released on July 1, 2013, built on the Rangeley architecture using a 22 nm process. It has 2 cores and 2 threads, a base clock of 1.70 GHz, a maximum boost of 2.00 GHz, 1 MB of L3 cache, a 7 W TDP and the FCBGA1283 socket.
Overview
SummaryThe Intel Atom C2338 is a embedded processor with 2 cores and 2 threads, built on the Rangeley architecture. It launched in Jul 2013. Clocks run from 1.7 GHz base to 2.0 GHz boost. A 1-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.7 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 16 GB across 1 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1283 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (8 lanes). Rated TDP is 7 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).
Performance
12 metricsThe Intel Atom C2338 scores 233 in single-core performance and 584 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 369 for overall performance, 706 for productivity performance, 741 for creator performance, 544 for engineering performance and 845 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 292 per core, 292 per thread and 83 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 139. Its performance index is 5, so its overall performance is 95% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.
Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the Intel Atom C2338.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
