Intel has announced the first six models in the Intel Atom C5000 series. All of the new parts have QAT onboard, which will be a bigger feature later in 2022 and into 2023. PCIe generation for all of the parts is listed as only PCIe Gen3 on Ark.

Despite little information, Intel has launched the first six Intel Atom C5000 series processors as media servethehome dug up. These SKUs have 4-8 cores and dual-channel DDR4 memory (up to 256GB supported.) All new parts incorporate QAT, which will become more prominent in 2022 and 2023. Ark displays PCIe Gen3 for all parts. The 4-core wattage at 32W C5310 is comparable to the 16-core Atom C3955. Most readers will use Intel Atom C3000 devices for edge networking. 

Back to QAT, a key feature of the Intel Atom C5000, P5300, and P5700 processors, Intel QAT makes acceleration scalable to meet the versatile performance needs of today’s network appliances and network security applications. Intel's unstructured press release process makes reporting on new Atom launches challenging.
