Summary
About the Intel Atom Z550 CPU
The Intel Atom Z550 is an end-of-life 1-core (2-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2009. It is part of Intel's Atom lineup, which is based on the Silverthorne microarchitecture. The Z550 is compatible with Intel BGA 441 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 45 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Atom Z550 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 56 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Atom Z550 is a single core CPU, but is able to process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Atom Z550 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition CPU
The AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition is an end-of-life 6-core (6-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2010 with a suggested retail price of $295. It is part of AMD's Phenom II X6 lineup, which is based on the Thuban microarchitecture. The X6 1090T Black Edition is compatible with AMD Socket AM3 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 45 nm manufacturing process. It is bundled a Yes cooler.
Memory and Cache
The Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition supports DDR2, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition features 6 total cores which can process 6 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.2 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.6 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
