Additional Details
The SU3500's clock speed is generally lower than that of standard voltage processors to minimize power consumption. The processor integrates a memory controller, improving memory access speeds and reducing latency. The processor uses a relatively small amount of L2 cache. Its thermal design power (TDP) is very low, and it needs a cooler to maintain optimal working temperatures. It uses either a socketed or BGA packaging type depending on the device manufacturer's design.
