Intel Atom серии C3308 vs Intel Atom серии C2730: comparison

Comparison of Intel Atom серии C3308 and Intel Atom серии C2730: key differences and a full specification table.

Key differences

Intel Atom серии C3308 has a lower TDP (9.5 W vs 12 W), a finer process node (14 nm vs 22 nm), a higher maximum memory size (128 GB vs 32 GB) and a newer PCIe version (3 vs 2).

At the same time, Intel Atom серии C2730 has more cores (8 vs 2), more threads (8 vs 2), a higher base clock (1.7 GHz vs 1.6 GHz) and a higher maximum clock (2.4 GHz vs 2.1 GHz).

These are specification values: they show differences between the models but do not determine a performance winner. For a specific workload, rely on independent benchmarks.
