System configurations (as used in comparison) 8th gen Intel® Core™ i7-8550U Processor, up to 4.0 GHz, 4C/8T, 15W; 7th gen Intel® Core™ i7-7500U Processor, up to 3.5 GHz, 2C/4T, 15W
1 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 http://www.intel.com/benchmarks.
Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation. Performance varies depending on system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or retailer or learn more at intel.com.
2 System performance as estimated by SYSmark* 2014 SE on Intel® CRB, Intel® Core™ i7-8550U Processor vs Intel® CRB, Intel® Core™ i7-7500U Processor. SYSmark* 2014 SE (Second Edition) is a benchmark from the BAPCo* consortium that measures the performance of Windows* platforms. SYSmark* tests the usage scenarios: Office Productivity, Media Creation, Responsiveness, and Data/Financial Analysis. SYSmark* contains real applications from Independent Software Vendors such as Microsoft* and Adobe*. Reported metrics: SYSmark* 2014 SE Rating and a rating for each scenario result (higher is better for all). Scaling efficiencies: CPU dominant, sensitive to frequency, core count, and memory. QSV enabled.
3 WebXPRT* 2015 is a benchmark from Principled Technologies* that measures the performance of web applications using six usage scenarios: Photo Enhancements, Organize Album, Local Notes, Stock Option Pricing, Sales Graphs, and Explore DNA Sequencing. WebXPRT* tests modern browser technologies such as HTML5 Canvas 2D, HTML5 Table, HTML5 Local Storage, as well as JavaScript*. Reported metrics: elapsed time in seconds (lower is better) for each scenario, plus an overall score (higher is better). Scaling efficiencies: CPU dominant (newer browsers are GPU accelerated), sensitive to frequency. WebXPRT* is very sensitive to browser type and version. OS support: Any OS that supports an HTML5 browser.
4 Content Creation Multitasking Workload: The workload set consists of a mix of 80 photos shot on a DSLR and point-and-shoot camera. The photos are imported into Adobe Elements Organizer* and scanned for facial analysis. While the media analysis is being performed, 1) 10 photos are opened in Adobe Premiere Elements* 15 to create a video slideshow project with the timeline preview rendered and 2) five photos are opened in Adobe Photoshop Elements* 15 and auto smart fix is applied.
