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: 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 is the successor of the Bonnell, using a newer 22 nm process (previously introduced with Ivy Bridge) and a new microarchitecture, replacing Hyper Threading with out-of-order execution.
