Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Atom Z2520 was a central component for portable devices. It was based on the Cloverview architecture, which was specifically designed for use in tablets. Its production in the 32-nm process enabled remarkable energy efficiency. This was crucial for long battery life in mobile applications.

Another plus was the integrated PowerVR SGX544 MP2 graphics chip. It offered reliable visual performance for typical tasks. These included surfing the web and playing media. The processor had 1 MB Level 2 cache, which supported daily use. The maximum memory bandwidth of 9 GB/s was appropriate for this device class.

We were able to observe how this chip enabled compact, fanless designs. The Intel Atom Z2520 helped significantly in making computer usage mobile. It handled basic tasks very reliably, which many users appreciated. Its solid design provided a good basis for various applications.High energy efficiencyIntegrated PowerVR SGX544 MP2 graphicsEnabled compact and fanless designs
