What the Atom Z510P is
The Intel Atom Z510P is a single core Silverthorne handheld processor that Intel launched on March 2, 2009 at 1.1 GHz. It runs one Bonnell core with Hyper-Threading for two threads at 1.1 GHz with no turbo, backed by 512 KB of L2 cache. Power is rated at 2.2 W with Hyper-Threading enabled on a 45 nm process with the SLGPQ sSpec.
The P suffix marks the large 22 mm package against 13 by 14 mm on small package parts. This model matches the Z510 on clocks in the large package for vendors with 22 mm board density. The front side bus runs at 400 MT/s to Poulsbo.
Memory is DDR2 single channel through the companion.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Atom Z510P is soldered to the board in BGA 437 and cannot be replaced.
The Poulsbo companion pairs over the 400 MT/s bus, so firmware must list the SLGPQ sSpec. The CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide covers soldered rules.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is DDR2 single channel through the Poulsbo companion, fixed per design.
No PCIe comes from the CPU. Expansion and display run through Poulsbo.
Cooling is passive by design for 2.2 W.
Upgrade paths
There is no CPU upgrade path on BGA 437 because the chip is soldered. A Z520PT adds speed in the same package where offered.
