1 Introduction
The Intel
®
Atom™ processor Z5xx series is built on a new 45-nanometer Hi-k low
power micro-architecture and 45 nm process technologythe first generation of low-
power IA-32 micro-architecture specially designed for the new class of Mobile Internet
Devices (MIDs). The Intel Atom processor Z5xx series supports the Intel® System
Controller Hub (Intel® SCH), a single-chip component designed for low-power
operation.
