Intel® Atom™ Processor Z5xx Series for Embedded Computing
Product Overview
The Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx series delivers the benefits of Intel® architecture for small form factor, thermally constrained and fanless embedded applications. Implemented in 45nm technology, these power-optimized processors provide robust performanceper-watt in an ultra-small 13x14 mm package. Featuring embedded lifecycle support, the Intel Atom processors are ideal for many embedded market segments such as in-vehicle infotainment, medical, interactive client (kiosks, point-of-sale terminals), gaming and industrial control. They remain software compatible with previous 32-bit Intel® architecture and complementary silicon.
These single-core processors are validated with the Intel® System Controller Hub US15W, which integrates a graphics memory controller hub, and I/O controller hub into one small 22x22 mm package. This new, two-chip platform provides more than 80% reduction in total footprint over the previous-generation three-chip solution, based on the Intel® Celeron® M processor Ultra Low Voltage 423Δ with Mobile Intel® 945GME Express chipset (See table below).
Product Highlights
• Available in two options:
– Intel® Atom™ processor Z530Δ at 1.6 GHz core speed with 533 MHz CMOS front-side bus (FSB), 2.2 watts thermal design power (TDP) and support for Hyper-Threading Technology1 (HT Technology)
– Intel® Atom™ processor Z510Δ at 1.1 GHz core speed with 400 MHz CMOS FSB, and 2.0 watts TDP
• Intel’s hafnium-based 45nm Hi-k silicon process technology reduces power consumption, increases switching speed, and significantly increases transistor density over previous 65nm technology.
• Multiple micro-ops per instruction are combined into a single micro-op and executed in a single cycle, resulting in improved performance and power savings.
• In-order execution core consumes less power than out-of-order execution.
• HT Technology (1.6 GHz SKU only) provides high performanceper-watt efficiency in an in-order pipeline. HT Technology provides increased system responsiveness in multi-tasking environments. One execution core is seen as two logical processors, and parallel threads are executed on a single core with shared resources.
• New C6 state removes power from processor core and caches, resulting in less leakage than C4 state.
• Split VTT rail removes power from ~90% of the I/O, reducing C6 state leakage and achieving a significantly lower idle power.
• Dynamic L2 cache sizing reduces leakage due to transistor sleep mode.
• SSE3 instruction set enables software to accelerate data processing in specific areas, such as complex arithmetic and video decoding.
• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology reduces average system power consumption.
• Execute Disable Bit2 prevents certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks.
• Along with a strong ecosystem of hardware and software vendors, including members of the Intel® Embedded and Communications Alliance (intel.com/go/eca), Intel helps cost-effectively meet development challenges and speed time-to-market.
• Embedded lifecycle support protects system investment by enabling extended product availability for embedded customers.
