Intel Atom x7213E

Intel Atom x7213E is a mobile processor from Intel, built on the 10 nm process and placed in the Atom (Gracemont) generation. It uses the Alder Lake architecture with the Alder Lake-N codename. The specification data lists 2 cores, 2 threads, a base clock of 1700 MHz, and a boost clock of 3.20 GHz. The socket is Intel BGA 1264. The data set contains no benchmark results, an empty nearestRivals list, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking against all CPUs, so this profile is based on the full specification record rather than on measured scores.

Who Should Consider It

The 2-core, 2-thread configuration is the defining workload boundary. Programs with at most 2 active threads are the realistic audience; workloads that scale across many logical processors will be capped by the total thread count. The 3.20 GHz boost clock is the highest frequency point in the specification, indicating a burst-oriented capability, while the 1700 MHz base clock indicates the sustained operating rate. For office-type tasks that commonly rely on single-threaded responsiveness, the boost clock and the low-power design are more relevant than a larger core count.

For creation workloads, the absence of additional threads is the limiting factor. Rendering or encoding jobs that expect several threads would not have spare parallel resources, so heavy multi-threaded creation work is not a natural fit. For gaming, the integrated UHD Graphics 16EU is the only GPU resource listed, and the single-channel 38.4 GB/s memory bus is the bandwidth ceiling for that graphics engine. This combination points toward light graphics workloads rather than high-end 3D gaming, though no benchmark data is available to confirm actual gaming performance.

The mobile segment and the 10 W TDP make the processor a candidate for thermally constrained systems, compact mobile boards, or designs where power draw is a primary planning factor. The focus should be on workloads that use 1 thread or 2 threads, because the chip provides exactly 2 threads and no additional logical processors are reported.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field is empty, so there are no named rivals, no rival scores, and no deltaPct values in the data. The only comparison anchor is the percentileVsAllCpus value of 50. A 50th percentile placement means the part sits at the middle of the database’s all-CPU ordering. Because the benchmark array is empty and the average benchmark score is 0, this percentile is not supported by measured entries; it is a rank position rather than a performance result.

No rival-specific paragraphs can be generated from the available facts. Any statement that this processor is faster or slower than a specific competitor would require data that is not present. The absence of nearestRivals entries is itself a noteworthy fact: the database does not associate this part with any adjacent competitor in terms of score or deltaPct. Therefore, the comparison section is limited to the global percentile and to the processor’s own specification fields.

Benchmark Performance

No benchmark scores are listed for this processor, so direct performance deltas over rivals do not exist in the record. The specifications that shape performance are the available facts. The processor has 2 physical cores and 2 threads; the thread count equals the core count, so no extra logical processors are reported. The base clock is 1700 MHz and the boost clock is 3.20 GHz.

The cache hierarchy consists of 96 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of shared L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. These cache sizes define how much data can remain close to the cores. The memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 on a single-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth figure of 38.4 GB/s. That bandwidth is the available memory throughput for the CPU and the integrated UHD Graphics 16EU to share.

The integrated graphics block is identified as UHD Graphics 16EU. No measured score is available for CPU-only or graphics-intensive tasks, so exact percentage differences relative to other processors cannot be calculated. The numerical fields that are present describe clocks, cache, memory throughput, and graphics execution-unit count, but they do not substitute for benchmark scores. The average benchmark score of 0 and the empty benchmarks array are consistent with the absence of test results.

Power and Thermals

The thermal design point is 10 W. This is the only TDP figure in the data set, and it places the processor in the low-power mobile class. A 10 W part requires a much smaller cooling solution than parts in higher thermal tiers, so the implied cooling category is a compact solution sized for a mobile board.

The 10 nm process node is the reported manufacturing process, and Intel is the listed foundry. The mobile market segment reinforces the thermal intent: the platform is designed for mobile form factors, which tend to have limited cooling space. With a base clock of 1700 MHz and a boost clock of 3.20 GHz, the thermal envelope must accommodate the boost state as well as the sustained base state, but the 10 W TDP remains the governing limit. Low power draw also makes passive or low-airflow cooling designs plausible, though the data set does not specify a particular cooler.

Platform and Compatibility

The physical socket is Intel BGA 1264. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5, but the bus is single-channel, and the bandwidth is 38.4 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported. The CPU supplies PCIe Gen 3 with 9 lanes, and the integrated UHD Graphics 16EU provides display capability.

The multiplier is locked, so unlocked-ratio overclocking is not part of the platform. The part number is SRMLQ. The architecture is Alder Lake, the codename is Alder Lake-N, and the generation is Atom (Gracemont). The processor was released on 2023-01-02 and has Active production status. The launch MSRP is $47.

Because the socket is BGA 1264 and the market segment is Mobile, the processor is tied to the board it ships on. Any upgrade path is therefore a board-level or system-level decision rather than a standalone processor swap. The platform’s expansion capability is defined by PCIe Gen 3 with 9 CPU lanes, and its memory configuration is bounded by the single-channel DDR4/DDR5 controller with a 38.4 GB/s bandwidth ceiling.
