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. For more information go to http://www.intel.com/performance Intel does not control or audit the
design or implementation of third party benchmark data or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmark
data are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmark data are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase.
