1 Extrapolation based on Apple* iTunes* 6.0.4.2
converting 69 minutes and 29 seconds of music from WAV
to MP3 format. The number of 3 minute tracks that can
be converted in a 5 minute time period was then
calculated. No other applications were running during
the test. Results may vary depending on CD load and
unload time.
2 A 25 minute video extrapolation based on Microsoft*
Windows* Movie Maker 2.1 compressing a 416 MB DV video
to a 25.7 MB WMV9 file. No other applications were
running during the test.
3 A 5 minute photo editing extrapolation based on
Adobe* Photoshop* Elements 4.0 running the auto
smart-fix function on 103 jpeg images. The average
size of each image is 600MB. No other applications
were running during the test.
4 Calculation based on Quicktime* Pro 7.1 application
compressing a 412 MB DV file to a 10.1 MB MOV format
at using Quicktime* Broadband-High profile with H.264
compression. No other applications were running during
the test.
5 Home networking capability and many Intel® Viiv™
technology-based usage models will require additional
hardware devices, software or services. Functionality
of Intel® Viiv™ technology verified devices will vary;
check product details for desired features. System and
component performance and functionality will vary
depending on your specific hardware and software
configurations. See http://www.intel.com/go/viiv_info
for more information.
Performance tests and ratings are measured 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. Buyers should consult other
sources of information to evaluate the performance of
systems or components they are considering purchasing.

performance of Intel products, visit www.intel.com/performance/resources/limits.htm
or call (U.S.) 1-800-628-8686 or 1-916-356-3104.
Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) requires a
computer system with an Intel® Processor supporting HT
Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS,
and operating system. Performance will vary depending
on the specific hardware and software you use. See
www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm for
more information including details on which processors
support HT Technology.

± Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system
with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine
monitor (VMM) and for some uses, certain platform software
enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits
will vary depending on hardware and software configurations.
Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled BIOS and VMM
applications are currently in development.
‡ Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology for specified units of
this processor will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2006.
See the Processor Spec Finder at http://processorfinder.intel.com
or contact your Intel representative for more information.
† Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor,
chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and
applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not
operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel
EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your
hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/
for more information including details on which processors
support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for
more information.
° Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC
with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a
supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer
on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit
functionality. |
