What the Atom Z3735G is
The Atom Z3735G is a reader tablet Bay Trail-T SoC on BGA 592 for small cheap slates. It runs 4 Silvermont cores and 4 threads at 1.33 GHz base with bursts to 1.83 GHz. Two megabytes of L2 cache cover reading apps. Power is 2 W on 22 nm from April 2014.
The 1 GB memory ceiling defines the use case: single app reading with video playback. Four threads handle Android or Windows with background sync. HD Graphics drives 1200 by 800 panels. The soldered package means buyers choose storage once beside fixed memory.
LPDDR3 over a single 32 bit channel to 1 GB feeds cores and graphics. The Z3735G covers school slates where the lowest Bay Trail-T cost must still run four threads.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Z3735G solders to BGA 592 with passive tablet cooling for 2 W. No swap of any kind exists. Storage size is the only choice at purchase. Boards wire small batteries with eMMC.
Tablet SoC I/O serves touch and radios. The LGA, PGA and BGA: CPU package types explained guide explains soldered slate limits.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
LPDDR3 over one 32 bit channel up to 1 GB with about 5.3 GB/s suits reader duty. The narrow bus caps multitasking, so close unused apps. No expansion exists after purchase.
Board radios cover Wi-Fi for downloads. MicroSD slots decide usable libraries more than silicon. eMMC holds the OS image.
Cooling is fully passive for 2 W. Bursts trim under sustained load. Thin plastic bodies warm first.
Upgrade paths
No upgrade path exists on soldered BGA-592. Sibling Z3740 and Z3770 parts with wider memory cover hybrids that multitask. All share the Bay Trail-T family.
Newer tablets moved to Cherry Trail. The Z3735G holds reader slate duty at the lowest cost.
