Atom C1100 “Arizona Beach” series

Intel has released a new series of processors for computing on the edge.

The new series features low-power efficient core architecture similar to what we have on Alder Lake-N series, but there are some key differences. One should note that the Arizona Beach hardware was already spotted online in late 2022, while the series itself was supposedly released in the second quarter last year. Intel did a poor job advertising the launch of such CPUs in the first place, which is why no one mentioned them for almost a year.

According to ServeTheHome , these embedded CPU series are designed to work in hardware on the edge, such as network appliances. The media already found the first product based on Arizona Beach, and it is a Silicom Valencia network appliance for SD-WAN, SASE and IoT applications (pictured above).

The Intel Atom C Processor series is designed for light workloads for network computing, with low-power and high density requirements. The company mentions that the Atom C series should be found in routers, switches, storage, or security appliances.

The new C1100 series features three SKUs: C1100, C1110 and C1130 with TDP ranging from 10W up to 32W. The C1100 has 2 Efficient cores based on Gracemont architecture. The higher-end part (C1110) with 13W TDP, features twice as many cores but there both SKUs have the same max turbo clock of 2.1 GHz. The most powerful SKUs (C1130) has 32W and 8 cores boosting up to 2.5 GHz.

The main upgrades over previous Atom C series and Intel Alder Lake-N platform is an inclusion of dual-channel LPDDR5-5200 MT/s memory support and support for PCIe Gen4 interface (up to 1×16+4 lanes) while the platform supports up to 20 lanes.
