9Project Athena targets are preliminary and subject to change. Intel does not guarantee performance of any third-party system

¹⁰Simulated to replicate typical scenario: shipped HW/SW configuration running multiple background applications and open web pages; on 802.11 wireless Internet connection, DC power, and 250nit screen brightness

¹¹Simulated to replicate in-transit local video playback scenario: 150nit screen brightness, in airplane mode

¹²Real-world performance testing conditions include out-of-box OEM default settings along with respective value add software, display brightness set to 250nits and always connected to internet with commonly used applications installed such as Office 365*, Microsoft One Drive* and Google Chrome* and with multiple tabs open and resident in the background. Project Athena targets are preliminary and subject to change. Intel does not guarantee performance of any third-party system

¹³From button press, lid open, or voice, to display on and ready for authentication

¹⁴As measured by in-game benchmark mode performance where available, or highest median frames per second (FPS) where benchmark mode is unavailable. PC Gaming Processors Compared: 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-9900K, Intel® Core™ i9-9980XE Extreme Edition, and Intel® Core™ i9-9900X X-series; 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8700K and i7-8086K; and AMD Ryzen™ 7 2700X, AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 2990WX, and AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper 2950X. Prices of compared products may differ. Configurations: Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 TI, Memory: 4x16GB DDR4 (2666 or 2933 per highest speed of the corresponding processor), Storage: 1TB, OS: Windows* 10 RS4 Build 1803, Samsung 970 Pro SSD. Results: Intel® Core™ i9-9900K scored better on the majority of the 19 game titles tested. The Intel® Core™ i9-9900K scored the same as the Intel® Core™ i7-8700K and the Intel® Core™ i7-8086K on “Middle Earth: Shadow of War,” and scored less than the Intel® Core™ i9-9980XE Extreme Edition on “Rise of the Tomb Raider.” More detail on workloads, test methodology, and configurations available at [ http://facts.pt/11u9e2].

¹⁵Warning: Altering PC clock or memory frequency and/or voltage may (i) reduce system stability and use life of the system, memory 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 assumes no responsibility that the memory, included if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be fit for any particular purpose.
