AMD Zacate core
First two microprocessors with Zacate core were launched in
January 2011 at CES in Las Vegas. These were AMD E-Series E-240 and
E-350, and they were quickly followed by a few embedded models, based
on the same core. Zacate is based on Bobcat micro-architecture, and
integrates 1 or 2 CPU cores, single-channel DDR3 memory controller,
and graphics controller in one chip. Main features of this core are
low power consumption, and high-performance 2D and 3D graphics.
New core features:
- Integrated graphics controller
- Supplemental SSE3 instructions
- C6 core and package low-power state
- Numerous low-level power-saving enhancements
AMD processors with Zacate core can be identified by:
- CPU ID: All microprocessors have CPUID 500F10. As a note,
the same CPUID was also used by Ontario-based CPUs.
The table below shows all AMD families with Zacate core.
