Abstract

The Intel Atom C2000 Microserver, codenamed Avoton and Rangeley, is a complete server and embedded processor system on chip (SoC) that provides up to seven times greater performance and six times the energy efficiency versus the prior-generation processor. Leveraging the Atom Silvermont microarchitecture, Intel´s 22-nm tri-gate manufacturing process and a robust set of integrated I/O, Intel is expanding its reach into datacenter computing.
