Teclast To Release An Atom Z8550/Z8750 & 8GB Powered 2-in-1

Teclast To Release An Atom Z8550/Z8750 & 8GB Powered 2-in-1

Teclast’s Weibo just recently posted an image of a Tbook Windows 10 system powered by an Atom Z8550 (The Z8X50’s) are the refreshed slightly faster Atom Cherry Trails chips. It also shows the system has 8GB of RAM. Hopefully it will also have wireless AC. So looks like there will be another Tbook release coming, but it’s great to see it’s not another Z8300 (Finally!)

Edit:

Looks like they will use the Atom X7 Z8750 too:

atom-x7-z8750

I only plan to review a few more Z8300’s the Tbook 16 Pro, Hi10 Pro, the Yepo 737S 13/.3″ notebook and maybe the Tbook 12. Like everyone else I’m tired of seeing the Z8300. The time for some X5 Z8550 and X7 Z8750 tablets, mini pcs and 2-in-1’s  is finally coming.

And expect some new Apollo Lake powered devices maybe at the very end of the year or early 2017.

  1. Hey all- will these new updated atoms be good for editing photos in photoshop or do I still need to look to an M3 option?

    Many thanks

    • Basic edits will be fine. I can do it on my Chuwi Hi12, just not massive 24 mega pixel images and 10 layers with filters. That lags like hell.

  2. I’m actually fine with the atoms themselves, specially the x7…would much rather have the 2gb devices become 3gb, the 4gb become 6gb(samsung has 3gb and 6gm ram). I hope everyone shifts to UFS2 and phase out emmc.

    • Apollo Lake will be UFS 2.0, don’t think Cherry Trail supports it.

  3. So, they they basically renamed the z8700 to z8550?

    A lower base frequency will save a few more watts (advantage to the 8550), otherwise they are identical.

  5. Bout time! Hope they release it with a 3:2 ratio screen and OGS panel. Must be dualOS and Remix OS 3.0 and Windows 10.

  6. The only difference I see with the newer chip is 2.4 GHz top turbo speed vs 2.2 GHz for he Z8500. So I’m guessing only if there’s no thermal throttling (the did good heat dissipation design) will you see even that small speed improvement.

    • I wonder if Intel fixed the heat issues on the new ones so it will not throttle? Or the reference design requires large copper heat sinks.

  7. It would be interesting to know what WiFi chip and touchscreen device it uses to see if there is Linux driver support possibility. There’s been some work lately for Cherry-Trail devices in the latest and forthcoming Linux kernel releases (eg. for Microsoft Surface 3 and some others).

    • Along similar line, wondering if RemixOS runs well on it.

      • Should be fine, don’t see why it wouldn’t run Remix well. Since the Z8300 can run it fine. (Chuwi Vi10 Plus for example)
