Intel® Atom™ x7-E3950

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 is a embedded processor with 4 cores and 4 threads, built on the Apollo Lake architecture. It launched in Oct 2016. Clocks run from 1.6 GHz base to 2.0 GHz boost. A 2-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.1 MB per core). It addresses LPDDR4 memory up to 8 GB across 4 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA1296 socket and exposes PCIe 2.0 (6 lanes). Rated TDP is 12 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 scores 727 in single-core performance and 2,028 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,214 for overall performance, 2,336 for productivity performance, 2,424 for creator performance, 1,952 for engineering performance and 2,688 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 507 per core, 507 per thread and 169 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 351. Its performance index is 15, so its overall performance is 85% 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 x7-E3950 scores 9,189 in integer math, 2,635 in floating-point math, 30,173 in compression, 1,305 in cryptography, 157 in physics simulation, 888 in vector SIMD, 5 in the prime sieve and 4,289 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 84% below in integer math, 94% below in floating-point math, 87% below in compression, 89% below in cryptography, 86% below in physics simulation, 94% below in vector SIMD, 93% below in the prime sieve and 81% 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 x7-E3950 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 1.60 GHz and boosts up to 2.00 GHz.

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 is a embedded processor, belongs to the Intel Atom X family, uses the Apollo Lake architecture, carries the codename Apollo Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Oct 2016.

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 has 224 KB of L1 cache, 2 MB of L2 cache and 2 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 4.2 MB of cache, or 1.05 MB per core.

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 224 KB, L2 at 2 MB and L3 at 2 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 47% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 supports LPDDR4 memory, addresses up to 8 GB of memory, uses 4 memory channels and runs memory at up to 2,400 MT/s. It does not support DDR5 and DDR4 memory.

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 includes integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 505) and clocks the graphics up to 0.65 GHz.

The Intel Atom x7-E3950 uses the FCBGA1296 socket, supports PCI Express 2.0 and provides up to 6 PCIe lanes.
