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 www.intel.com/support. 
Benchmark results were obtained prior to implementation of recent software patches and firmware updates intended to address 
exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown".  Implementation of these updates may make these results inapplicable to your 
device or system. 
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. 
All documented performance test results are obtained in compliance with JESD218 Standards; refer to individual sub-sections 
within this document for specific methodologies. See www.jedec.org for detailed definitions of JESD218 Standards.  
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. 
The products described in this document may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to 
deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.  
Contact your local Intel sales office or your distributor to obtain the latest specifications and before placing your product order.
