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 www.intel.com/benchmarks.

Performance results are based on testing as of 9/25/2018 and may not reflect all publicly available security updates. See configuration disclosure for details. No product can be absolutely secure.
