Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Atom Z2560 was a processor designed for use in mobile devices. It was based on the Cloverview architecture and manufactured using an advanced 32-nanometer process. This manufacturing enabled truly remarkable energy efficiency. This was particularly important for long battery life in tablets and compact systems.

It also contributed to low heat generation, which facilitated passive cooling. With its integrated PowerVR SGX544 MP2 graphics solution, the Z2560 could handle basic multimedia tasks well. Video playback was surprisingly smooth for its time, making watching movies on the go enjoyable. We found that this CPU was used in many tablets of the time for everyday use and worked reliably there.

The 1 MB Level 2 cache supported the overall system performance of the chip in typical applications. Despite its compact design, it provided a solid foundation for the usual requirements at the time. Its consistent focus on efficiency and its balanced performance for the mobile sector are characteristic to this day.

The maximum memory bandwidth was 9 GB/s.
