About Intel Atom CE4150
The Intel Atom CE4150 is a mobile processor from Intel's Atom architecture, codenamed Sodaville. The database records no benchmark scores for this part: the benchmarks array is empty, and the average benchmark score is 0. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, a neutral default rather than a measured ranking. The specification sheet reveals a 1-core, 1-thread design at 1200 MHz with a 7W TDP, produced on a 45nm process with 47 million transistors.
Benchmark Performance
The benchmark data for the CE4150 is entirely absent. The benchmarks array contains no entries, and the average benchmark score is recorded as 0. The percentile versus all CPUs is 50, which in a database with no measured results functions as a midpoint placeholder, not a performance verdict. No nearest rivals are listed, so no delta percentages can be computed. This absence of data is consistent with the processor's status: an end-of-life mobile part released on 2009-09-23, belonging to the Atom (Sodaville) generation. The 45nm process node, 47 million transistors, and 96 mm² die size are the only quantitative fabrication data. The cache hierarchy is minimal: 56 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core, with no L3 cache. The single core runs at a fixed 1200 MHz with no boost clock, and the multiplier is locked. These specifications describe a processor designed for extremely low power consumption — 7W TDP — rather than for benchmark leadership. The absence of recorded scores means any performance assessment must rely entirely on the architectural parameters. The shallow cache, single thread, and low clock rate collectively indicate a very low throughput ceiling. The 50th percentile placement is the only database ranking, and it carries no statistical weight given the zero average score.
Who Should Consider It
The CE4150 is classified in the mobile market segment. Its 7W TDP makes it viable for systems where heat dissipation is constrained, such as passively cooled embedded boards or compact mobile devices. The integrated graphics are not a fixed processor feature; they are available "on certain motherboards (Chipset feature)", meaning the motherboard chipset determines graphics capability. This makes the CE4150 dependent on platform-level integration for any display output. Memory support includes DDR2 and DDR3, giving system designers a choice between older and newer memory generations, but ECC memory is not supported, ruling out reliability-critical applications. The processor has a single core and a single thread, so it can only handle one instruction stream at a time. Suitable workloads would be simple control logic, serial data processing, or legacy single-threaded applications. The socket is Intel BGA 951, a ball-grid array package that is typically soldered to the motherboard, not socketed for upgrades. The production status is end-of-life, so new product designs should avoid this part. The release date of 2009-09-23 places it in a specific historical context; any system using it today would be a legacy deployment. The 45nm fabrication and 47 million transistors reflect the technology of that era. For workloads requiring more than one thread or any form of parallel execution, this processor is not suitable.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The CE4150 has exactly one core and one thread. There is no multi-threading capability whatsoever. Every workload executed on this processor is single-threaded by necessity. The base clock is 1200 MHz, and there is no boost clock — the processor cannot raise its frequency under load. The multiplier is locked, so no user-based overclocking is possible. The cache configuration is per-core: 56 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2, with no L3 cache. Because there is only one core, these per-core values are also the total cache sizes. The absence of an L3 cache means the memory hierarchy ends at L2, with direct access to DDR2 or DDR3 memory. In real workloads, the processor can execute only one thread at any given moment. Operating system context switching allows multiple tasks to be interleaved, but there is no parallel execution. Single-threaded performance is governed by the 1200 MHz clock and the efficiency of the 512 KB L2 cache. Multi-threaded performance is not applicable — the hardware does not support it. For any operating system or application that spawns background threads, the CE4150 will serialize all work. The 7W TDP indicates that the design prioritizes power efficiency over computational throughput. The data shows a fixed clock, no boost, and no multi-threading, which together define a strictly sequential execution model.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals array for the CE4150 is empty. The database lists no rival processors, no rival scores, and no delta percentage values. Therefore, a comparative analysis against specific competitors is not possible from the available data. The only ranking data point is the 50th percentile versus all CPUs, which — given the empty benchmarks array and zero average score — is a default placement rather than a computed position. Without rival entries, the CE4150 cannot be said to be ahead of or behind any particular processor in the database. The specification sheet provides the only comparative basis: 1 core, 1 thread, 1200 MHz, 7W TDP, 45nm process, 47 million transistors, 96 mm² die, 56 KB L1, 512 KB L2, no L3, DDR2/DDR3 memory support, no ECC, locked multiplier, Intel BGA 951 socket, and mobile market segment. These parameters describe an ultra-low-power, single-threaded, end-of-life part. The database's silence on rivals means any assertion about relative performance would be unsupported. The 50th percentile could be interpreted as a midpoint, but with no measured scores, it carries no comparative weight.
