Intel® Atom™ S1260

The Intel Atom S1260 is a server processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, built on the Centerton architecture. It launched in Oct 2012. A 1-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.0 MB per core). It addresses DDR3 memory up to 8 GB across 1 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1283 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (8 lanes). Rated TDP is 8.5 W. Notable platform capabilities: VT-x (Hardware Virtualization).

The Intel Atom S1260 scores 313 in single-core performance and 526 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 406 for overall performance, 780 for productivity performance, 853 for creator performance, 490 for engineering performance and 1,071 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 263 per core, 132 per thread and 62 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.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Atom S1260 scores 2,265 in integer math, 764 in floating-point math, 12,488 in compression, 123 in cryptography, 59 in physics simulation, 204 in vector SIMD, 3 in the prime sieve and 1,609 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 96% below in integer math, 98% below in floating-point math, 95% below in compression, 99% below in cryptography, 95% below in physics simulation, 99% below in vector SIMD, 96% below in the prime sieve and 93% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Atom S1260 has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.00 GHz.

The Intel Atom S1260 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Atom family, uses the Centerton architecture, carries the codename Centerton and is manufactured on a 32 nm process. It launched in Oct 2012.

The Intel Atom S1260 has 56 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 1 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 2.1 MB of cache, or 1.02 MB per core.

The Intel Atom S1260 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 56 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 1 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 49% of the cache listed here.
