CPU Speed - The SBC is configured as either the EBC-Z510-G, which uses the 1.1GHz CPU, or the EBC-Z530-G that uses the 1.6GHz CPU. The 1.6GHz Z530-based unit also supports Hyper-Threading (HT) technology which provides high performance-per-watt efficiency in an in-order pipeline for increased system responsiveness in multi-tasking environments. One exe- cution core is seen as two logical processors, and parallel threads are executed on a single core with shared resources. When both board configurations have the iden- tical features supported, it is referred to as the EBC-Z5xx.
