information & performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. Benchmark Source: Intel Corporation - Optimization Notice: Intel’s compilers may or
may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets & other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the
availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel

Actionable Wake-Up, Sleep State, Frequency & Temperature Data
Intel® Energy Profiler
 Consolidate wake-ups & save
energy by remaining in a lower
power state for longer periods
of time, leading to longer
battery life
 Optimize fan-less systems

Correctness Tools Increase ROI By 12%-21%1
 Errors found earlier are less expensive to fix
 Several studies, ROI% varies, but earlier is cheaper
Diagnosing Some Errors Can Take Months
 Races & deadlocks not easily reproduced
 Memory errors can be hard to find without a tool
Debugger Integration Speeds Diagnosis
 Breakpoint set just before the problem
 Examine variables & threads with the debugger
Find & Debug Memory & Threading Errors
Memory & Thread Debugger – Intel® Inspector
Debugger Breakpoints
Diagnose in hours instead of months
Intel® Inspector dramatically sped up
our ability to track down difficult to
isolate threading errors before our
packages are released to the field.
