CPU in the RN428

In the datasheet for the RN428 it says that the CPU is a "quad core" Atom C3000.  However, Intel doesn't list a C3000.  But, they do list several C3xxx models that are quad cores (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/processors/atom/c/products.html). 

Intel Atom® Processor C3436L (8M Cache, 1.30 GHz) Q2'20 4 1.30 GHz 8 MB 10.75 W
Intel Atom® Processor C3508 (8M Cache, up to 1.60 GHz) Q3'17 4 1.60 GHz 1.60 GHz 8 MB 11.5 W
Intel Atom® Processor C3538 (8M Cache, up to 2.10 GHz) Q3'17 4 2.10 GHz 2.10 GHz 8 MB 15 W
Intel Atom® Processor C3558 (8M Cache, up to 2.20 GHz) Q3'17 4 2.20 GHz 2.20 GHz 8 MB 16 W
Intel Atom® Processor C3558R (8M Cache, 2.40 GHz) Q2'20 4 2.40 GHz 8 MB 17 W

Does anyone know which of these it could be?

      Thanks! I just picked one up on eBay and was curious. I hope to get it soon, but the FedEx driver forged my signature & and I can't find the package.  FedEx it "tracing" it...
