Compatibility
Information on Atom x5-Z8550 compatibility with other computer components and devices: motherboard [look for socket type], power supply unit [look for power consumption] etc. Useful when planning a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. Note that power consumption of some processors can well exceed their nominal TDP, even without overclocking. Some can even double their declared thermals given that the motherboard allows to tune the CPU power parameters.

Cinebench 15 64-bit single-core
Cinebench R15 [standing for Release 15] is a benchmark made by Maxon, authors of Cinema 4D. It was superseded by later versions of Cinebench, which use more modern variants of Cinema 4D engine. The Single Core version [sometimes called Single-Thread] only uses a single processor thread to render a room full of reflective spheres and light sources.
