Pillars of Performance

Industry Standard Benchmarks
The performance delivered on the industry standard benchmarks represents the capability of your Intel platform. Since no single benchmark adequately describes the performance of your PC, a variety of performance metrics that tax the various areas of the PC should be used. In every case, from productivity to gaming, your Intel platform should deliver great performance and value for business, consumer and performance enthusiasts.
Multithreaded Applications
The pillar of Single Application performance consists of leading edge software applications that represent usage models employed by home and office users. For business content creation users, the performance on leading edge 3D rendering applications is highlighted as well as the performance on business essentials such as image modification and enhancement. For the home user the performance on digital media is showcased by audio and digital video encoding. Whether you use the PC for home or office, your Intel platform should deliver better responsiveness and immediate performance benefits.
Business/Consumer Multitasking
The pillars of Business and Consumer multitasking represent scenarios where the PC is being tasked to do multiple activities at one time, which end-users now do regularly. On your Intel platform, the home user will experience seamless multitasking while running multiple usage models concurrently such as simultaneous digital and audio encoding, gaming while audio encoding and flawless media encoding and playback. The business user will experience great performance on background and foreground computing activities involving data compression and virus scanning allowing business to publish documents while protecting their computing environment. Whether you use the PC for home or office, your Intel platform should deliver better responsiveness, immediate performance benefits and power for the next generation.
