1. PCMark Vantage* measures hardware performance for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista*. Its benchmark result is a combination of the various test suites by PCMark Vantage to evaluate different usage scenarios.
2. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom* 1.1 is a photography application that lets you manage, adjust, and present a large amount of photographs. For this scenario, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is used to resize 125 ten-megapixel and 75 six-megapixel JPEG photos at 480x360 resolution for posting to Facebook* or viewing on portable devices such as an Apple iPhone*. The photos are also used to create a personal HTML web gallery that can be published online. Extrapolation is used to calculate the number of images you can prepare in one minute for upload to Facebook*.
3. Video quality measured using the Hollywood Quality Video* (HQV) benchmark, comparing the Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset to the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset. Results based on inclusion of the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver version 15.2.3.1244 or higher, available at support.intel.com. The HQV score is calculated using the guidelines included in its image quality testing tool. Video performance enhancements are delivered through dedicated MPEG-2 hardware decoding in the Mobile Intel GM965 Express Chipset. These measurements are based on customer reference boards, designed for engineering validation and not volume production. Performance and power tests and ratings are high-confidence measurements 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. See www.intel.com/performance/mobile/videoquality.htm for more information.
4. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting Intel HT Technology and an Intel HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. The previous generation Intel® Core™ i5-750 desktop processor does not support Intel HT Technology. For more information, including details on which processors support Intel HT Technology, see www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/hyper-threading/hyper-threading-technology.html.
5. Requires a system with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 is the next generation of Intel Turbo Boost Technology and is available only on 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i5 and Core™ i7 processors. Consult your PC manufacturer. Performance varies depending on hardware, software and system configuration. For more information, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/turbo-boost/turbo-boost-technology.html.
6. Intel® HD Graphics is available on select models of the Intel® Core™ processor family.
7. WARNING: Altering clock frequency and/or voltage may: (i) reduce system stability and useful life of the system 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 has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the processor beyond its specifications. Intel assumes no responsibility that the processor, including if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be fit for any particular purpose. For more information, visit www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/overclocking/overclocking-intel-processors.html.
