The Supermicro A1SAM2550FO is a micro-ATX server board with an Intel Atom C2550 quad-core processor soldered on. The chip is a 14 W part, so the board runs cool and needs little airflow, and it takes up to four DDR3 DIMMs. It suits a quiet home server, firewall or NAS build that needs many SATA ports and low power draw rather than raw speed. Against newer Atom C3000 and Xeon D boards it is older and slower per core, with no PCIe 3.0 and no built-in 10GbE, so it makes sense mainly for light, always-on duties.
