SoftwareandworkloadsusedinperformancetestsmayhavebeenoptimizedforperformanceonlyonIntelmicroprocessors.Performancetests,suchasSYSmarkandMobileMark,aremeasuredusingspecic
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.

Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/
processor_number for details.
