Processing cores and threading
The AMD Z-01 features 2 physical cores and 2 threads, which directly impacts multi-threaded performance in CPU benchmarks. More cores allow the processor to handle parallel workloads efficiently, improving performance in video editing, 3D rendering, and multitasking scenarios. Thread count determines how many simultaneous tasks the CPU can process, with higher thread counts benefiting productivity applications and content creation workflows.
Z-01 Clock Speeds
Base and boost frequencies
Clock speed is a critical factor in Z-01 benchmark performance, measured in GHz. The base clock represents the guaranteed operating frequency, while the boost clock indicates maximum single-core performance under optimal conditions. Higher clock speeds translate to faster single-threaded performance, which is essential for gaming and applications that don't fully utilize multiple cores. The Z-01 by AMD can dynamically adjust its frequency based on workload and thermal headroom.
AMD's Z-01 Cache Hierarchy
L1, L2, L3 cache sizes
Cache memory is ultra-fast storage built directly into the Z-01 processor die. L1 cache provides the fastest access for frequently used data, while L2 and L3 caches offer progressively larger storage with slightly higher latency. Larger cache sizes significantly improve CPU benchmark scores by reducing memory access times. The Z-01's cache configuration is optimized for both gaming performance and productivity workloads, minimizing data fetch delays during intensive computations.
Bobcat Architecture & Process
Manufacturing and design details
The AMD Z-01 is built on AMD's 40 nm manufacturing process, which determines power efficiency and thermal characteristics. Smaller process nodes allow for more transistors in the same space, enabling higher performance per watt.

About AMD Z-01
The AMD Z-01 is a mobile processor that combines 2 cores and 2 threads on a 40 nm Bobcat architecture with the codename Desna. It belongs to the Z (Desna) generation and uses AMD Socket FT1. The listed base clock is 1000.00 MHz, with no boost clock present. Cache consists of 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2, with no L3. Memory support is DDR3 over a single-channel bus, and ECC memory support is false. The integrated graphics is Radeon HD 6250. The part has a TDP of 6, targets the Mobile market segment, and is end-of-life. Its release date is May 31, 2011. The record contains an empty benchmark array, an average benchmark score of 0, a percentileVsAllCpus of 50, and no nearest rivals.
Who Should Consider It
Workload-based recommendations cannot be derived from measured scores because the benchmark array is empty. The only quantitative anchors are the core and thread counts, base clock, cache sizes, memory bus, and integrated graphics. With 2 cores and 2 threads, the processor is suited to workloads that do not scale beyond one lightweight thread pair. The record does not include multi-core benchmark results, so any recommendation for parallel work must stop at the structural limit of 2 threads.
The 1000.00 MHz base clock is the only clock figure in the FACT PACK. There is no boost clock, which means the record contains no higher frequency state for transient or heavy single-thread operation. The cache hierarchy is also fixed: 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2, with no L3. A two-core, two-thread design with this cache layout and no L3 points toward simple, low-data workloads rather than large working sets. The memory subsystem is single-channel DDR3, which limits memory parallelism. No memory bandwidth number is present, but the single-channel bus is the only bus width listed.
Because the thread count is 2, the AMD Z-01 is not indicated for rendering, encoding, compilation, or other high-thread-count creation workloads. The data does not provide any scores for such tasks, and the processor lacks the thread resources that those workloads typically require. For office-style work and general mobile use, the configuration is more plausible: a 2-thread CPU with integrated graphics and a 6 TDP aligns with a low-power mobile platform. However, the empty benchmark array means no office productivity score can be cited to support that use case.
The integrated Radeon HD 6250 provides a graphics path, but the FACT PACK contains no graphics benchmark results. Gaming consideration is limited to the presence of that integrated GPU; no frame-rate or compute capability is quantified. The market segment is Mobile, and the production status is end-of-life, so this is a legacy mobile part rather than a current-generation option. A buyer should consider the Z-01 only if the workload fits a 2-thread, low-power mobile processor and if the lack of measured benchmark data is acceptable.
Power and Thermals
The thermal envelope is defined primarily by the TDP field, which is 6. That is a very low power class. The record contains no other wattage figures, so the 6 TDP is the only power number available for analysis. A 6 TDP places the processor at the low end of the mobile thermal spectrum. The cooling tier implied is minimal: simple, low-capacity cooling is in line with the thermal envelope, although the FACT PACK does not specify a cooler model, size, or mounting requirement.
The process node is 40 nm, the only manufacturing geometry listed. That process figure, combined with a 2-core, 2-thread design and a 1000.00 MHz base clock, describes a part with modest electrical activity. No boost clock exists in the record, so there is no high-frequency state that would push power demand upward. The platform uses AMD Socket FT1, and any cooling solution must be compatible with that socket, though the data does not identify a cooler tier by name.
The memory support is DDR3 over a single-channel bus, and ECC memory is not supported. ECC support being false has no direct thermal impact, but it reflects the intended low-cost mobile positioning. The average benchmark score of 0 means there is no measured performance-per-watt ratio to report. The 6 TDP value is the sum of thermal information in the record. The integrated Radeon HD 6250 is present, and its power draw is not listed separately, so the 6 TDP is best read as the total processor thermal design limit.
Benchmark Performance
Benchmark results for the AMD Z-01 are not present in the FACT PACK. The benchmarks field is an empty list. The average benchmark score is 0, and the percentileVsAllCpus is 50. These are the only performance-related fields in the record. A 50th percentile usually indicates a middle position in the distribution of all CPUs, but with an average benchmark score of 0 there is no evidence that this position is based on measured submissions. The data set does not provide any raw scores, multi-core results, single-core results, or graphics results.
Consequently, no percentage comparison against any rival can be produced from this record. The nearestRivals list is empty, so there are no deltaPct values to quote. If the database later contained rival records, those names, scores, and deltaPct values would be the basis for exact performance percentages. Until then, the only objective performance-related statements are structural: the processor has 2 cores, 2 threads, a 1000.00 MHz base clock, no boost clock, 64 KB of L1 cache, and 1 MB of L2 cache.
Memory bandwidth is not quantified in the pack. The memory bus is single-channel, and memory support is DDR3, but no bandwidth number appears. The integrated Radeon HD 6250 is present but has no benchmark scores either. The average benchmark score of 0 should not be read as a performance result; it is an empty value in the database. Without scores, exact percentage analysis is impossible, and the 50th percentile flag remains unverified by any sampled benchmark data.

How It Compares
The nearestRivals field is empty. No rival names, scores, or deltaPct values are present. Therefore, the AMD Z-01 cannot be positioned against any specific CPU in this database. The only ordinal information is percentileVsAllCpus of 50, which places the part at the midpoint of the all-CPU distribution if that percentile is taken at face value. However, because the average benchmark score is 0, the percentile is not corroborated by any measured score.
There are zero nearest-rival paragraphs to write. In a database context, this means the Z-01 is an isolated listing with no comparative benchmark metadata. Any future comparison would require new entries in the nearestRivals array. Until then, relative standing among competitors is not specified.
