The 2nd Generation Intel® Core™ i5 Mobile Processor

1. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software, and overall system configuration. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technology.html.

2. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires an Intel HT Technology enabled system; check with your PC manufacturer. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software used. Not available on the previous generation Intel® Core™ i5-750. For more information including details on which processors support Intel HT Technology, visit http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html.

3. Painless multitasking test consists of two different applications. The ArcSoft MediaConverter* 7 input is a 1.7GB 15min 8 sec 1080i MPEG2* video clip (similar to that obtained by a DVR), and the output is a 480x320 MP4* suitable for Apple iPhone*. The Bibble* Lite workload is 200 8.2MP images in RAW format. The total size of all the photos is 2.53 GB. The photos are converted to JPEG format using default settings.

4. PCMark* Vantage is a collection of various single- and multi-threaded CPU, Graphics, and HDD test sets with the focus on Windows Vista* application tests. Tests have been selected to represent a subset of the individual Windows Vista Consumer Scenarios.

5. MobileMark* 2007 is a benchmark used to evaluate notebook PC user experience by measuring both performance and battery life at the same time on the same workload.

6. CyberLink MediaEspresso* 6 - Video conversion workload consist of a 4-minute, 449 MB, 1920x1080i, 18884 kbps, MPG2 video file that one would have obtained when recording TV to their PC. The file is transcoded to a smaller 640x360, H.264, .MP4* file for viewing on a portable device such as an iPhone* or iPod* Touch.

7. Intel® High Definition Experience and Performance Rate Test 2010 (Intel® HDXPRT 2010) is a benchmark that runs consumer digital media applications on a PC, measures performance, and provides an indicator of the expected quality of video playback. Intel® HDXPRT 2010 automatically runs tests using commercially available applications from the following usage categories: music encoding, photo and video editing, and High Definition video playback. Results may vary depending on many variables including the processor, memory, disk drive, graphics card, and operating system on the test system.

8. 3DMark Vantage* is a 3D graphics benchmark, designed for Microsoft Windows Vista* and DirectX* 10. It includes two graphics tests, two CPU tests, and several feature tests. The CPU tests measures the contribution of the processor on 3D graphical performance such as 3D gaming AI and Physics while the graphics test measures game simulation performance.

9. Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark* and MobileMark*, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.

10. Performance tests and ratings are measured using specific computer systems and/or components and reflect the approximate performance of Intel® products as measured by those tests. Any difference in system hardware or software design or configuration may affect actual performance. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems or components they are considering purchasing. For more information on performance tests and on the performance of Intel products, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/benchmarks/resources-benchmark-limitations.html.

11. Relative performance for each benchmark is calculated by taking the actual benchmark result for the first platform tested and assigning it a value of 1.0 as a baseline. Relative performance for the remaining platforms tested was calculated by dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.
