What the Atom D510 is
The Intel Atom D510 is a dual core Pineview nettop processor from December 2009. It runs two Bonnell cores with Hyper-Threading for four threads at 1.667 GHz with no turbo, backed by 2 by 512 KB of L2 cache. Power is rated at 13 W on a 45 nm process with the SLBLA sSpec.
The D510 doubles the D410 at the same 1.667 GHz for nettop multitasking. Family tables place it on FC-BGA 559 against a stray BGA 437 listing, so this page files it under BGA 559 with Pineview like the D410. GMA3150 graphics at 400 MHz cover nettop displays.
Memory is single-channel DDR2-800 up to 4 GB on desktop boards.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Atom D510 is soldered to the board in BGA 559 and cannot be replaced. Nettop repair means board replacement.
The NM10 Express chipset pairs over DMI, so firmware must list the SLBLA sSpec. The CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide covers soldered rules.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is single-channel DDR2-800 up to 4 GB, fixed per design.
PCIe comes from the NM10 chipset. Board wiring decides options.
Cooling is a small fan or spreader drawn for 13 W.
Upgrade paths
There is no CPU upgrade path on BGA 559 because the chip is soldered. A D525 adds speed in the same package class where offered.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Intel Atom D510 use?
BGA 559 (FC-BGA 559), the soldered 559-ball package. Table data places D510 here rather than BGA 437.
