If such a modern atom was available, but there is no new cpu for server platforms with the new atom cores so it’s not a discussion, and a C3000 is still a long way behind D1500 in performance.
given the D1541 supermicro boards new have been around $400 sometimes in 2021 that’s all I would pay. (Granted that a board with only the 1G NIC)
Fact is for a moderately powerful system supporting 128gb and low power it’s all that’s on the market, the other option is the e-2200 kind of Xeon with much high clocks but also good power consumption, downside is no rdimm support
