Enough with the similariies and moving on to the GPU, where it gets interesing. The Penium N3700 uses the same 8th
generaion Intel HD Graphics as its other siblings, but carries more powerful graphics core due to its operaing frequency.
The normal operaing frequency of the GPU is 400MHz making it 100MHz faster even than the Intel HD Graphics 5500
found in the higher-end Broadwell CPUs. The maximum operaing frequency goes up to 700MHz, but there’s another sig-
niicant limitaion and that’s the number of EU (Execuion Units).

Intel HD Graphics 5500 holds 24 EUs, while the Braswell CPUs uses 16 EUs integrated with the same architecture, as Intel
likes to standardize its graphics units between Core and Atom products. Simply put, we can sill expect big improvement in
the graphics department, but let’s not keep our hopes high. You can see the design of the graphics processor in the image
below, but keep in mind that this is true for the Core M implementaion, but the Braswell equivalent won’t difer much as
only the EUs will be 16, not 24.
As menioned above, the new Braswell CPUs will support 2-channel memory up to 8GB of DDR3(L)-1600MHz. The PCI Ex-
press revision is 2.0 and other interesing features are the support of Virtualizaion and Burst Performance technologies.
To take one step further, Intel has implemented support for DirectX 12 and Open GL 4.2 if you are running Windows 10. It
can also support 4K resoluion and up three external displays, while internally, the plaform will handle eDP 1.4 up to 2650
x 1440. The external monitors can be connected via HDMI or Display Port. And the best part is that Braswell chips can run
on Android, Chrome, Linux and Windows plaforms, but on the other hand, this is a necessity as Intel is struggling on the
mobile market and it will need all the extra CPUs to turn things around.
