Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Atom x7-Z8700 processor, based on the Cherry Trail architecture, was an interesting option for compact devices. Manufactured in the 14-nanometer process, it offered a good balance between performance and energy efficiency. This made it particularly suitable for tablets or small 2-in-1 laptops.

Its integrated graphics unit, the Intel HD Graphics 405 (16EU), enabled smooth video playback. The chip was also well-equipped for simple web browsing or light office work. The low heat generation often allowed for fanless designs, which benefited the devices. With 2 MB Level-3 cache, it supported overall performance in everyday tasks.

We experienced at the time how these CPUs powered a new generation of mobile devices. The Intel Atom x7-Z8700 was therefore a solid foundation for devices that valued long battery life. It wasn't a speed demon, but its strengths clearly lay in portability.
  • High energy efficiency
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics 405
  • Ideal for compact devices and fanless designs
  • Manufactured in the 14-nanometer process
