Product and Performance Information
1) As measured by Game Level Load Workload comparing Intel® Core™ i7-8700 processor + 1TB HDD + 32GB Intel® Optane™ memory vs. Intel® Core™ i7-8700 processor + 1TB HDD.
2) As measured by Media Project Load Workload comparing Intel® Core™ i7-8700 processor + 1TB HDD + 32GB Intel® Optane™ memory vs. Intel® Core™ i7-8700 processor + 1TB HDD.
3) Benchmark results were obtained prior to implementation of recent software patches and firmware updates intended to address exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown". Implementation of these updates may make these results inapplicable to your device or system.
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.

4) As measured by SYSmark* 2014 SE Responsiveness comparing Intel® Core™ i7-8700 processor + 1TB HDD + 32GB Intel® Optane™ memory vs. Intel® Core™ i7-8700 processor + 1TB HDD.
5) As measured by SYSmark* 2014 SE Responsiveness comparing Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor + 1TB HDD + 32GB Intel® Optane™ memory vs. Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor + 1TB HDD.
6) As measured by Game Level Load Workload comparing Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor + 1TB HDD + 32GB Intel® Optane™ memory vs. Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor + 1TB HDD.
7) As measured by Media Project Load Workload comparing Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor + 1TB HDD + 32GB Intel® Optane™ memory vs. Intel® Core™ i7-8750H processor + 1TB HDD.
8) Intel Optane™ memory and its logo denote a platform feature made up of individual components and not solely a single small factor solid state drive or a memory media. A system that is Intel Optane™ memory ready includes: a 7th Gen or later Intel Core™ processor, an Intel® 200 series or later chipset, M.2 type 2280-S3-B-M connector on a PCH Remapped PCIe* Controller and Lanes in a x2 or x4 configuration with B-M keys that meet NVMe* Spec 1.1 and System BIOS that supports the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) 15.5 or later driver.
