2. Approx. 2x Ice Lake Video Encode: Based on 4k HEVC to 4k HEVC transcode (8bit). Intel preproduction system, ICL 15w compared to WHL 15w. Measured by Intel as of April 2019. Intel pre-production WHL-U RVP, Intel® Core™ i7-8565U, 15W TDP, 4C/8T, Turbo 4.6Ghz, Intel UHD Graphics 620, GFX Driver v 25.20.100.6793, Memory 2x8GB DDR4, Storage Intel SSD 760P 512GB, Windows 10 RS5 Build 17763, BIOS x200 (for Stylize video and graphics perf benchmarks) RUG 1055: This RUG measures the time it takes to complete a Style Transfer using the AI Style Transfer Plug-in for PowerDirector. Specifically it uses the “Starry Night” style from the Van Gogh AI Styles Pack. The RUG transforms the PowerDirector supplied video named “Skateboard.mp4” which is an AVC MP4 video that is 1280X720 @ 29.97 fps with a bit-rate of 4.27 Mbps. The RUG uses HW Acceleration (if available on the system), and OpenVINO™ is used if that option is available. Version Cyberlink PowerDirector 17 Ultra.
3. Approx. 2.5x Ice Lake AI Performance and 8x vs comp: Workload: images per second using AIXPRT Community Preview 2. Configuration: Intel preproduction system, ICL-U, PL1 15W, 4C/8T, Intel Gen11 Graphics, GFX driver preproduction, Memory 8GB LPDDR4X-3733, Storage Intel SSD Pro 760P 256GB, OS Microsoft Windows 10, RS5 Build 475, preprod bios. Vs. Intel PreProduction ICL U 15W. Configuration: Processor: Intel® Core™ i7 (ICL-U 4+2) PL1=15W TDP, 4C/8T, Intel Gen 11 Graphics, PreProduction driver, Memory: 8GB LPDDR4X-3733, Storage: Intel SSD Pro 7600P 256GB, OS: Windows* 10 RS5 Build Version 475 vs. Commercially available OEM system with AMD* Ryzen 7 3700U 2.3GHz Turbo up to 4GHz 4C/8T, AMD* Radeon* Vega 10 graphics, Gfx driver Adrenalin 2019 19.4.3, Memory 8GB DDR4-2400, Storage SK Hynix BC501 256GB, OS – Microsoft Windows 10 RS5 Build 475 Bios F.07. Measured by Intel as of May 2019.
4. Lead design with Intel Adaptix provides additional 20% graphics performance.
5. Up To 16% Better Performance Vs. Previous Gen as measured by SYSmark2018 Overall Score.
6. Comparing DDR4-2,666 MHz speeds on 10th Gen Intel® Core™ U-series processors (Comet Lake) with DDR4-2,400 MHz speeds on 8th Gen Intel® Core™ U-series processors (Whiskey Lake).
7. Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) products support optional 160 MHz channels, enabling the fastest possible theoretical maximum speeds (2402 Mbps) for typical 2x2 802.11 AX PC Wi-Fi products. Premium Intel® Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) products enable 2-4X faster maximum theoretical speeds compared standard 2x2 (1201 Mbps) or 1x1 (600 Mbps) 802.11 AX PC Wi-Fi products, which only support the mandatory requirement of 80 MHz channels.
8. Nearly 3X Faster: 802.11ax 2x2 160 MHz enables 2402 Mbps maximum theoretical data rates, ~3X (2.8X) faster than standard 802.11ac 2x2 80 MHz (867 Mbps) as documented in IEEE 802.11 wireless standard specifications, and require the use of similarly configured 802.11ax wireless network routers.
9. 75% Latency Reduction: Is based on Intel simulation data (79%) of 802.11ax with and without OFDMA using 9 clients. Average latency without OFDM is 36ms, with OFDMA average latency is reduced to 7.6ms. Latency improvement requires that the 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) router and all clients support OFDMA
10. WPA3 Wi-Fi Security Features: The Wi-Fi Alliance industry consortium will certify Wi-Fi 6 products for compliance with the IEEE 802.11ax standard, and will require WPA3 security certification as a pre-requisite to ensure the latest in Wi-Fi security features. WPA3 Simplified Passwords: WPA3 uses Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) to replace the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) exchange protocol used by WPA2. SAE more securely handles initial key exchange and uses forward secrecy, which makes it more resistant to offline decryption attacks and provides stronger password-based authentication. WPA3 Enhanced Protection: Additional network protection comes from the equivalent of 192-bit cryptographic strength across an 802.11ax network and is superior to the 128-bit AES encryption utilized with WPA2.
11. 4X Capacity/Scalability: This claim is based on a comparison of overall network capacity for similarly sized 802.11ax vs. 802.11ac networks. The IEEE 802.11-14/0165r1 802.11ax specification amendment defines standardized modifications to both the IEEE 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control layer (MAC) that enable at least one mode of operation capable of supporting at least four times improvement in the average throughput per station (measured at the MAC data service access point) in a dense deployment scenario, while maintaining or improving the power efficiency per station.
