Intel may make changes to specifications and product descriptions at any time, without notice.

All products, dates, and figures specified are preliminary based on current expectations, and are subject to change without notice.

Intel processors, chipsets, and desktop boards may contain design defects or errors known as errata, which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications.

Current characterized errata are available on request.

Performance claims: 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

ISTC-VC Charter

The ISTC - Visual Computing engages in

open, collaborative, and exploratory

research in visual computing to bring

modern trends in computing (the cloud,

crowd sourcing, hand-held computing) to

bear on hybrids of computer graphics,

animation, image understanding, and

large-scale gaming.
