Intel® Atom™ Processor Z5xx Series For embedded computing
The Intel® Atom™ processor Z5xx series provides a variety of design options with 2.0 or 2.2 watts thermal design power (TDP), two package sizes, and industrial as well as commercial temperature ranges. Based on 45nm Hi-k next generation Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, these processors implement ground-breaking power management techniques making them ideal for thermally constrained and fanless embedded applications.
Featuring embedded lifecycle support, the Intel Atom processors are ideal for many embedded market segments such as in-vehicle infotainment, medical, retail and transaction solutions (kiosks, point-of-service terminals), gaming and industrial control and automation. It remains software compatible with previous 32-bit Intel® architecture and complementary silicon.
These single-core processors are validated with the Intel® System Controller Hub (SCH) US15W, which integrates a graphics memory controller hub and an I/O controller hub into one package. This low-power platform has a combined thermal design power under five watts.

Product highlights
- Intel's 45nm technology, based on a Hafnium, high-K metal gate formula, 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.
- Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology¹ (HT Technology; included in all SKUs except the Z510) provides high performance-per-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.

¹ Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with an Intel® processor supporting Intel HT Technology and an Intel HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS, and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm for more information including details on which processors support Intel HT Technology.
