+ As measured by SPEC* CPU2006 (SPECfp*_rate_base2006 and SPECint*_rate_base2006) comparing Intel Pentium M processor 780 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9500 to Intel® Pentium® M processor 780. Actual performance may vary.
¹ SYSmark* 2007 Preview is BAPCo's latest version of the mainstream office productivity and Internet content creation benchmark tool used to characterize the performance of the business client. SYSmark 2007 Preview features user-driven workloads and usage models developed by application experts.
² SPECint*_rate_base2006 and SPECfp*_rate_base2006 are capacity-based metrics used to measure throughput of a computer that is performing a number of tasks. This is achieved by running multiple copies of each benchmark simultaneously with the number of copies set to set to the number of logical hardware cores seen by the operating system.

³ CINEBENCH* R10 is a benchmark tool used to measure the CPU and graphics capability for 3D rendering. The scenes use cpu-intensive features such as reflection, ambient occlusion, area lights and procedural
shaders. The results shown are based on running the multi-core CPU rendering test.
† Autodesk* 3ds Max* 9 is a scalable 3D modeling, animation, and rendering solution for film, television and games. Based on Autodesk* 3ds Max* 9.0, this _Rig.max scene rendered at 1920x1080. One frame is rendered. The render options set are Atmospherics, Effects and Displacement. The advanced lighting options are also set.
‡ Adobe* After Effects* CS3 is a comprehensive set of tools to efficiently produce motion graphics and visual effects for film, video, multimedia, and the web. Based on Adobe* After Effects* 7, this test applies filters and effects to a variety of input file types including Adobe* Photoshop* PSD, Adobe* Illustrator* AI and EPS, TIF, and Apple* QuickTime* MOV files. Filters and effects include: blur, bulge, color key, frame blending, glow, motion blurring, fading, 2D and 3D manipulation, shadows, echo, median, radial blur, and invert. After each filter is applied, the composition is rendered to an uncompressed AVI movie file of the same resolution as the input files.
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.
