Intel Introduces 3 “New” Atom x5 and x7 Processors, a GPU Naming Scheme

Intel has a published a product change notification regarding an update to Intel Atom x7-Z8700, x5-Z8500, and x5-Z8300 processors with the new Intel Atom x7-Z8750, x5-8550, and x5-Z8350 processors with higher CPU burst frequencies, and some graphics fixes (Alpha Blending and ASTC issues). The company has also come up with a naming scheme for the Gen8 GPUs used in the processors with the 12EU (Execution Units) SKU being called HD Graphics 400, and the 16EU SKU called HD Graphics 405.

That means there are now 6 Cherry Trail processors:

  • Atom x5-Z8300 quad core processor @ 1.44 GHz with 1.84 GHz burst frequency and HD Graphics 400
  • Atom x5-Z8350 quad core processor @ 1.44 GHz with 1.92 GHz burst frequency and HD Graphics 400
  • Atom x5-Z8500 quad core processor @ 1.44 GHz with 2.24 GHz burst frequency and HD Graphics 400
  • Atom x5-Z8550 quad core processor @ 1.44 GHz with 2.4 GHz burst frequency and HD Graphics 400
  • Atom x7-Z8700 quad core processor @ 1.6 GHz with 2.4 GHz burst frequency and HD Graphics 405
  • Atom x7-Z8750 quad core processor @ 1.6 GHz with 2.56 GHz burst frequency and HD Graphics 405

The rest of the feature for Z8x50 processors remain the same as Z8x00 processors, and I understand the older parts will be phased out in September 2016.

The new processors are sampling now, and Intel’s customers should start receiving the new parts in February 2016 (Date of First Availability of Post-Conversion Material).
