About Intel Atom x7211E
The Intel Atom x7211E is a 2-core, 2-thread mobile processor in the Alder Lake family, listed under the codename Alder Lake-N and the Atom (Gracemont) generation. It is built on Intel's 10 nm process, with a base clock of 1000.00, a boost clock of 3.20, a 6 TDP, and integrated UHD Graphics 16EU. In the database, its average benchmark score is 747, placing it at the 19th percentile of all CPUs. The nearestRivals deltas range from -0.1% to 0.2%, so the x7211E's aggregate performance sits inside a very narrow cluster.
Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior
The benchmark split between single-thread and multi-thread results is pronounced. In Cinebench R20, the single-core score is 128 and the multi-core score is 911. In Cinebench R23, the single-core score is 306 and the multi-core score is 2170. The Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 218; no R15 single-core figure is present in the database.
Because the x7211E has exactly 2 cores and 2 threads, the multi-core result reflects the combined output of both threads working together. The single-core result is the best case for a workload that cannot be split. A R20 single-core score of 128 and a R23 single-core score of 306 indicate that the chip has limited per-thread headroom. The boost clock of 3.20 is far above the base clock of 1000.00, so lightly threaded work may reach higher frequency, but the database does not provide per-test clocks.
For real workloads, the gap between the two score types matters. Tasks that can use both cores will produce a higher Cinebench result than tasks limited to one thread, but the absolute ceiling is still low because only 2 threads are available. The shared L2 cache is 2 MB and the shared L3 cache is 6 MB, so cache-sensitive jobs have a modest pool of shared data to work with. The 19th percentile rank reinforces the overall positioning: the multi-core advantage is real, but it operates from a low base.
Who Should Consider It
With an average benchmark score of 747 and a 19th percentile rank, the x7211E is not positioned for high-throughput computing. The market segment is Mobile, and the 6 TDP points toward thermally constrained designs and low-power operation. The production status is Active, meaning it remains a current part in the database.
For office-style productivity, the single-core scores are the relevant starting point. A R20 single-core score of 128 and a R23 single-core score of 306 suggest modest single-thread responsiveness. Applications that are mostly light, with occasional bursts of activity, may fit the chip's low-power profile. Applications with a heavy primary thread will likely find the score ceiling insufficient.
For gaming, the integrated UHD Graphics 16EU and the single-channel memory bus do not suggest a platform built around modern 3D titles. No gaming benchmark data is present in the pack, so the assessment rests on the listed integrated graphics, memory configuration, and low Cinebench scores. The 2-core, 2-thread layout further limits modern games that expect more thread count.
For content creation, the multi-core scores are the key data points. The R15 multi-core score is 218, the R20 multi-core score is 911, and the R23 multi-core score is 2170. These are low absolute results for rendering or encoding, so workloads that scale across cores will be constrained by the two-thread design. The database does not provide GPU compute scores, so the integrated UHD Graphics 16EU cannot be evaluated for that purpose from this pack.
