Performance results are based on testing as of October 1st, 2018 and may not reflect all publicly available security updates. See configuration disclosure for details. No product
can be absolutely secure.
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 complete information about performance and benchmark results, visit http://www.intel.com/benchmarks
Intel technologies' features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on
system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at intel.com.
Warning: Altering PC clock or memory frequency and/or voltage may (i) reduce system stability and use life of the system, memory and processor; (ii) cause the processor and other
system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity. Intel assumes no
responsibility that the memory, included if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be fit for any particular purpose. Check with memory manufacturer for warranty
and additional details.

WorkloaddescriptionsBlender 2.79b - The workload is a render of the CPU “BMW Benchmark” file.
4K Video Adobe Premier Pro Workload: The project “PPCS” contains seven clips totaling 2 minute and 21 seconds of 4K H.264 MP4 footage recorded at a bitrate of approximately 80 Mbps. The input file sizes total 1.90 GB. The
video stream is 3840x2160 (4K) in H.264 format with a framerate of 29.97 FPS. The audio stream is 1536 Kbps, 48.0 KHz, 16 bit Stereo in WAV format. The performance test measures the time to export the entire clip to a 4K H.264
MP4 format. The output is a high quality 4K video file.
