Процессор Intel Atom Z3560. Обзор

Intel Atom Z3560 представляет собой энергетически эффективный четырехъядерный чипсет для (преимущественно) планшетов и смартфонов на базе Android. Он работает с частотой 1,83 ГГц и является частью платформы Moorefield. Благодаря специально оптимизированному технологическому процессу в 22Нм удалось получить процессор с низким энергопотреблением (P1271) и транзистором с тремя затворами. Показатели производительности и энергетической эффективности были значительно улучшены в сравнении с его предшественником. Помимо процессорных ядер, чипсет включает графический чип (GPU) PowerVR G6430, а также двухканальный контроллер памяти LPDDR3-1600 (макс. 4Гб, 12,8 Гб / с).

Ядра процессора Intel Atom Z3560 основаны на новой архитектуре Silvermont, которая применяется пока лишь на нескольких процессорах нового поколения. Расширенное использование каналов и множество других улучшений (в том числе: улучшенное предсказание ветвлений, увеличение буферов, расширенные декодеры) увеличивают производительность в рамках новой архитектуры практически на 50 процентов. Одновременно с тем, функция Hyper-Threading, соответствующая предыдущему поколению процессоров Intel Atom, была удалена. Другие изменения включают поддержку новых инструкций, включая SSE 4.1 и 4.2, а также AES-NI (в зависимости от модели).

В сравнении с другими чипсетами планшетов, Z3560 обеспечивает сравнительно высокую производительность в такт, подобно Z3580. В некоторых случаях, чип может конкурировать даже с другими, лучше хронометрированными чипами, как, например, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. Тем не менее, средняя производительность Intel Atom Z3560 чуть ниже. Следовательно, Z3560 можно классифицировать и позиционировать в верхней категории среднего класса мобильных систем на чипе (по состоянию на начало 2015 года).

Интегрированный графический чип разработан не в Intel, но производится по лицензии Imagination Technologies. PowerVR G6430 можно найти в Apple A7, но здесь они работают на частоте несколько выше: 457-533 МГц. В сравнении с другими мобильными графическими решениями, G6430 работает аналогично или лучше, чем Snapdragon 800 / Adreno 330 или ARM Mali-T628 MP6. К сожалению, G6430 не сможет соответствовать показателям Adreno 420 и Tegra K1 GPU. Но это не должно расстраивать потенциальных владельцев планшетов с этим чипом, поскольку даже самые требовательные Android-игры 2014 года, легко будут работать на максимальном разрешении с этим графическим чипом.

На основе производительности и характеристик чипа, он оценивается средним потреблением энергии. Intel обозначает чипсет, как подходящий для планшетов и смартфонов, это действительно так.

Technical Documentation

Processor Number

The Intel processor number is just one of several factors—along with processor brand, system configurations, and system-level benchmarks—to be considered when choosing the right processor for your computing needs. Read more about interpreting Intel® processor numbers or Intel® processor numbers for the Data Center.

Launch Date

The date the product was first introduced.

Lithography

Lithography refers to the semiconductor technology used to manufacture an integrated circuit, and is reported in nanometer (nm), indicative of the size of features built on the semiconductor.

# of Cores

Cores is a hardware term that describes the number of independent central processing units in a single computing component (die or chip).

# of Threads

A Thread, or thread of execution, is a software term for the basic ordered sequence of instructions that can be passed through or processed by a single CPU core.

Burst Frequency

Burst frequency is the maximum single core frequency at which the processor is capable of operating. Frequency is typically measured in gigahertz (GHz), or billion cycles per second.

Cache

CPU Cache is an area of fast memory located on the processor. Intel® Smart Cache refers to the architecture that allows all cores to dynamically share access to the last level cache.

VID Voltage Range

VID Voltage Range is an indicator of the minimum and maximum voltage values at which the processor is designed to operate. The processor communicates VID to the VRM (Voltage Regulator Module), which in turn delivers that correct voltage to the processor.

Embedded Options Available

Embedded Options Available indicates products that offer extended purchase availability for intelligent systems and embedded solutions. Product certification and use condition applications can be found in the Production Release Qualification (PRQ) report. See your Intel representative for details.

Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type)

Max memory size refers to the maximum memory capacity supported by the processor.

Memory Types

Intel® processors come in four different types: Single Channel, Dual Channel, Triple Channel, and Flex Mode. Maximum supported memory speed may be lower when populating multiple DIMMs per channel on products that support multiple memory channels.

Max # of Memory Channels

The number of memory channels refers to the bandwidth operation for real world application.

Max Memory Bandwidth

Max Memory bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by the processor (in GB/s).

Physical Address Extensions

Physical Address Extensions (PAE) is a feature that allows 32-bit processors to access a physical address space larger than 4 gigabytes.

Graphics Base Frequency

Graphics Base frequency refers to the rated/guaranteed graphics render clock frequency in MHz.

Graphics Output

Graphics Output defines the interfaces available to communicate with display devices.

USB Revision

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is an industry standard connection technology for attaching peripheral devices to a computer.

T_JUNCTION

Junction Temperature is the maximum temperature allowed at the processor die.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) ‡

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Intel® 64 ‡

Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.¹ Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.

Instruction Set

An instruction set refers to the basic set of commands and instructions that a microprocessor understands and can carry out. The value shown represents which Intel’s instruction set this processor is compatible with.

Instruction Set Extensions

Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions which can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).

Idle States

Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, meaning that the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on, where more power saving actions are taken for numerically higher C-states.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and Frequency Changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies

Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core’s temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required in order to remain within normal operating limits.

Intel® AES New Instructions

Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) are a set of instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption. AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of cryptographic applications, for example: applications that perform bulk encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption.

Secure Key

Intel® Secure Key consists of a digital random number generator that creates truly random numbers to strengthen encryption algorithms.

Execute Disable Bit ‡

Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.
