Silvermont is a microarchitecture for low-power Atom, Celeron and Pentium branded processors used in systems on a chip (SoCs) made by Intel. Silvermont forms the basis for a total of four SoC families:^[1]

Merrifield and Moorefield – consumer SoCs intended for smartphones
Bay Trail – consumer SoCs aimed at tablets, hybrid devices, netbooks, nettops, and embedded/automotive systems
Avoton – SoCs for micro-servers and storage devices
Rangeley – SoCs targeting network and communication infrastructure.

Silvermont was announced to news media on May 6, 2013 at Intel's headquarters at Santa Clara, California.^[2]^[3] Intel had repeatedly said the first Bay Trail devices would be available during the Holiday 2013 timeframe, while leaked slides showed that the release window for Bay Trail-T as August 28 – September 13, 2013.^[4] Both Avoton and Rangeley were announced as being available in the second half of 2013. The first Merrifield devices were announced in 1H14.^[5]

Airmont is the 14 nm die shrink of Silvermont, launched in early 2015 and first seen in the Atom x7-Z8700 as used in the Microsoft Surface 3.^[6] Airmont microarchitecture includes the following SoC families:^[7]

Braswell – consumer SoCs aimed at PCs
Cherry Trail – consumer SoCs aimed at tablets.

Design

Silvermont was the first Atom processor to feature an out-of-order architecture.^[8]
