Overview
SummaryThe Intel Atom C2530 is a server processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Avoton architecture. It launched in Jul 2013. Clocks run from 1.7 GHz base to 2.4 GHz boost. A 2-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.0 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 32 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1283 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (8 lanes). Rated TDP is 9 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).
Core Configuration
5 specsThe Intel Atom C2530 has 4 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 1.70 GHz and boosts up to 2.40 GHz.
