Teclast Release Five Images of New 11.6″ Atom X7 Z8700 Tablet (Updated)

Teclast Release Five Images of New 11.6″ Atom X7 Z8700 Tablet (Updated)

Update 29th: The tablet is officially called the Teclast X16 Power.

Update: 28th Oct. Teclast posted on their Weibo it will be dual boot Android 5.1 and Windows 10.  This tablet is clearly just a more powerful X16 Pro.

Today Teclast posted five new pictures of their new Atom X7 Z8700 tablet with 8GB of Ram. Yes 8GB, that’s more than the Surface 3 Atom model that has 4GB. The tablet is still nameless at this point. But it would be called a Teclast X11 Pro or something similar no doubt.

These new flashy photoshop images sure make it look better than in reality I’m sure. The styling is very similar as mentioned to the X16 Pro,  we can see it has one full sized USB 3.0 port on the bottom left and two MicroUSB ports on the top.

  1. I am just wondering the comparison between X16 Power (Atom X7 RAM 8gb), X16 Pro (Atom X5 Z8500 RAM 4gb), and the X2 Pro (Core m RAM 4gb), in terms of Performance (especially for games and heat issue)

  2. I’m still waiting for a real Android dual boot with SSD. Has anyone released one yet that isn’t emulated under Windows? A 32GB or 64GB eMMC just isn’t enough space and with SSD you could upgrade the storage . Is there something about SSD storage that makes it incompatible with Android?

  3. While the Core-M 5Y71 looks like it should be, usually, faster performing than the Braswell Pentium N3700 and Celeron N3150, the stat that I wondered about… if a system designed properly with fast RAM might make it perform better?…

    The Celeron supports ECC memory transfer rates that are *twice* as fast as the Core-M (25,600 MB/s vs 12,800 MB/s) according to this page… http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-M-5Y71-vs-Intel-Celeron-N3150

    • Sorry, kinda off topic of this page. But people had diverged into the subject of other low powered CPU’s.

    • Looks like you know your stuff Bradley. The X16 Power was released for pre-sale a few hours ago. What do you think of it?
      It is listed for significantly cheaper than the X2 Pro – why do you think that is?

      From what I have seen the Atom X7-Z8700 X16 Power looks to be the superior device.

      X2 Pro may run graphics slightly better and has SSD 128gb compared to the 64gb eMMC in the X16 Power. But, overall I believe the new X16 Power is the more powerful device.

      What do you think?
      I am going to purchase one of the two this week.

      • None of the Atoms can beat Core M.

        • I compared the Atom X7 Z8700 to to core M 5Y10C in terms of specs.

          The Atom is the superior chipset from what I can see, can you please explain why not

  4. This tablet is released it is for sale on tmall right now.
    Unfortunately, it is just an upgraded x16 and it only comes in 32gb and 64gb eMMC. Proper SSD would have been nice. However, it is cheaper than the X2 Pro, converting to 317USD.

    I expect to see it in the aliexpress 11.11 sale very shortly.

  5. @Carsten Schmied, Asus makes a Zenbook with 8GB and Core M processor.
    Also, keep an eye out for Intel Braswell devices. They are quad-core with TDP of 6 watts. (Pentium N3700 and Celeron N3150)
    There are already fanless motherboards, mini-PC’s, and convertible notebooks using them.

    • The $280 Acer Chromebook R11 looks interesting. Uses the Braswell N3150 quad-core Celeron which compares favorably with the Cherry-Trail Atoms. Given the speed of memory that it supports it *might* outperform an Atom X7 based device. Where is the Windows 10 model of this?

      Amazon pre-order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0161DGXIC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

      There is also a 4GB model for $329: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.G54AA.002

      Acer Chromebook R11 CB5-132T-C32M comes with these high level specs: Intel Celeron N3150 Quad-Core Processor 1.6GHz with Intel Burst Technology up to 2.08GHz, Chrome, 11.6″ HD Widescreen LED-backlit Display (1366×768 resolution; 16:9 aspect ratio), Multi-touch screen, supporting 10 finger touch, Intel HD Graphics, 2GB DDR3L Memory, 32GB internal storage, Secure Digital (SD) card reader, 802.11ac Wi-Fi featuring MIMO technology (Dual-Band 2.4GHz and 5GHz), Bluetooth 4.0, Built-In HD Webcam, 1 – USB 3.0 Port, 1 – USB 2.0 Port, 1 – HDMI Port, 3-cell Li-ion Battery (3220 mAh), Up to 9.5-hours Battery Life, 2.76 lbs. | 1.25 kg (system unit only) (NX.G54AA.001)

  6. I am extremely interested in this hybrid tablet, any idea on approximately when it will come out? I can’t decide whether to hold out for this or get the Teclast X2 Pro(wish that was 8gb)

    I am confused as to why so many commenters are going on about overheating. The Teclast X2 Pro got a good review, a Core M held turbo to 2.0 without overheating(admittedly it got hot).

    The Atom chipset is 4W and heat correlates directly go wattage. As long as they have clever heat dissipation I cannot imagine it being an issue.

    • i7 Stylus didn’t overheat either, but there are heatsinks. Obviously, there are no heatsinks on CT tabs.

      • My point simply is if the X2 Pro did not overheat with a 4.5-11W chipset. Why would a 4W TDP overheat in what is essentially the same shell?

        I am not having a dig at all, I am asking questions as I am looking to buy a dual OS hybrid tablet I can play League of Legends and other demanding games on without it cutting out on me.

    • “As long as they have clever heat dissipation”… think you might have answered your own question.

      • I wouldn’t even care if it had 3 fans and terrible battery life if it had a discrete GPU. When are these Chinese manufactures going to release a tablet with a dedicated graphics card???

        I really feel that is what the market needs. If you look around there is just a handful of ‘2 in 1’ hybrids with discrete GPU’s.

        While I understand a discrete GPU creates another world of heat issues, integrated graphics can just not compare at this stage.

        Make it heavy with heatsinks, give it a fan, slop in a graphics card and charge me more money please.

    • *sigh* why does everyone think its a 4w chipset….

      the X5 Z8500 chip is actually about an 6-8watt chipset when doing processor intensive tasks, and a 10-11w chipset if you’re also playing taxing games.

      • Probably because the chipset is the Atom X7-Z8700. *sigh*

  7. Sorry for the basic question but can these tablets (cherry trail) typically be charged via their usb port? I know the core m ones seem to use a more laptop like charger. Thanks in advance 🙂

  8. What price do you think this tablet will have? I expect it to be around 600usd

    • LOL, for that price you can get Cube i7 on Core M SoC, which is much more superior than overheating C-Trails.

  9. Similar x7-Z8700 based Lenovo Thinkpad 10, which is not cheap, reportedly has issues with performance/heat as well…
    http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Tablet-10-2nd-Generation-Tablet-Review.152645.0.html

    • Their verdict? “Not sufficient to replace a Notebook”.

      • Yes if you going to pay more than 400$ buy a AMD A10 with R7 video card 6th generation for less than 500$

        • Aren’t AMD A10’s like 30 watts TDP? That’s quit a leap from the new Intel Braswell pentiums and celerons 6 watts and Cherry Trail Atoms at 4 watts.

  10. It looks exactly the same as the teclast x16 pro, if this last tablet has good cooling i’ll expect a really good tablet

  11. I was just looking at the performance of this processor. Aside from it’s much superior impact on battery power, it’s speed looks essentially equal to the quad-core AMD A6 in my inexpensive but heavy (~2 kilogram) 15″ notebook.
    CPU comparison: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Atom-x7-x7-Z8700-vs-AMD-A6-6310

    As a replacement for my notebook, I could live with it with externally connected monitor and hard drive. The keys will be the heat issue as @ragnar-ironblood mentioned, as well as a UEFI-64 BIOS supporting “live booting” 64bit OS (linux) from a USB drive – and availability of drivers for the various devices – audio, wifi, bluetooth, etc.
    I really would like a lighter portable device with better battery life, but it has to be able to run some flavor of Linux as well as Windows.

    Price is also a big question.

  12. More power generates more heat. Until cooling issue is not solved, all these brand new super-duper tablets are just a piece of junk. I’m glad there are cheaper alternatives to famous brands, but THIS is where it becomes insane.

    • Well hopefully they have a nice large piece of copper or aluminum in there, otherwise yes, it will be pointless.

      • Have you tried to look inside Core M tablet?

        • Yes they have larger heat sinks i nthem, copper normally and use the rear metal panel to transfer heat.

      • This is an Atom tablet. The CPU produces hardly any heat (a few Watts). How come this cannot be cooled properly? How come we see 30 Watt TDP fanless Mini-PCs? Did anybody ever test them? Maybe they throttle down a lot after a few minutes of full CPU usage?

        Also, why do we get 8GB Atom (8 GB is the maximum Atom CPUs support) devices but no 8 or even 16GB Core-M devices?

        • Hi,

          I have a fanless 28W i5257 Mini PC and it gets to 78 degrees and hot to the touch the case. The issue is Onda must have only used a small bit of copper tape over the SoC to transfer heat, it really needs a bit more than this and some copper on there doesn’t hurt.

          There is a X7 Z8700 Teclast model coming soon with 8GB of Ram.

          • 78 degree Celcius? The CPU itself or the casing outside?

            What can you tell us about the fanless 28W i5257 Mini PC? Why not make a test for the website? Do you have the link where you bought it?

            What is the idle Watt usage of your Mini-PC?
            What is the max Watt usage when all Cores are maxed out? Will the CPU throttle at any point?
            Will Linux boot/run on the device? Maybe you could use a Ubuntu Live-USB stick and tell us how well the hardware is supported?

            I am aware there will be a Atom 8GB from Teclast. Maybe you misread my last comment: “Also, why do we get 8GB Atom (8 GB is the maximum Atom CPUs support) devices but no 8 or even 16GB Core-M devices?”

            I want a Core-M device with 8-16GB. I think a Core-M with 8-16GB would make a lot more sense then an Atom with 8GB.

          • Don’t forget t keep a lookout for the new 14nm Braswell processors – the Pentium N3700 and Celeron N3150. Both are quad-core 6watt TDP and from looking at the design data, and prelim test data, on these CPU’s look like they compare favorably against the Core-M’s that exist today.

          • @Bradley L do you have a comparison between N3700 and Core-M systems?

        • because this atom processor actually uses 10 watts not 4 watts, and they opt for having a device that isn’t hot to the touch, where the processor throttles slightly, rather than a processor which can stay maxed out but have a case sitting at 70+*C

          • @William, what is your source for this info? Most people are just going by the TDP data supplied by Intel wich says 4 watts. Are we being lied to by Intel? Where do we go to get reliable power stats?

          • William, I am concerned that you are posting all of this stuff without realizing what SDP and TDP means.

            I have seen your forum post about you stress testing your x98 cores to 100%. This is not TDP.
            Please also note that the Atom in the new X16 Power(this post) is a different chipset.
