1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,200 Lionus Tech Tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by Phantom Glass. Visit 2 00:00:05,319 --> 00:00:12,320 store.fantom.glass for the best darn screen protectors out there as well as 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:17,199 HyperX. All right, so before we were so rudely interrupted there, we were trying 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,880 to start a video here in the Intel PR 5 00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:23,199 suite. Now, this is the first time I've ever actually managed to get in touch 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:28,480 with Intel's PR folks. a uh an error that both sides are we're sort of quick 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,439 to hug it out over and uh you know make up and we're going to work together 8 00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:36,480 moving forward in the future. But the whole point of what they're showing here 9 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:40,399 is the importance of benchmarks and not just benchmarks but benchmarks that can 10 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:43,520 be validated and that can be trusted. So there's three basic types of benchmarks 11 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:47,200 in the world. There's going to be your consortium benchmarks where there's a 12 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,879 group of large companies that all work together to keep each other in check and 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,440 make sure that everything is fair and balanced in the results. There's going to be your open- source benchmarks that 14 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:59,920 are going to have communities behind them that are going to I mean sometimes maybe you got to pay 20 bucks like the 15 00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:04,479 one that's over to my right there in order to have a peek at the source code, make sure there's no tom foolery. We'll 16 00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,920 talk about that one in a minute. Then there's your closed benchmarks which often you'll have to pay an exorbitant 17 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:14,240 fee in order to get access to the source code and poke at it. So really there's 18 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,240 no community moderation. So the point of all this was they're showing off Tablet 19 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,680 Mark. Why do they care about Tablet Mark? Well, Tablet Mark's from Bapco. 20 00:01:20,159 --> 00:01:27,520 And the reason they care about it is because for the first time in a while, 21 00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:29,680 Intel has what they feel is a clear and 22 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:35,439 solid lead in the tablet. Excuse me. Sorry, did I say tablet? I meant PC 23 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:37,600 space. Uh PCs that are extremely thin, 24 00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:40,400 have screens on one side, backings on the other, not a ton of IO. Okay, I'm 25 00:01:39,119 --> 00:01:44,240 just going to call them tablets. I'm sorry guys. So they have a the a 26 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:49,360 position in the tablet space that puts them in a well a very very strong 27 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,520 position moving forward. So here they're showing off some pretty crazy stuff. 28 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:59,680 This right here is a CoreM5y70. This is a Broadwell based chip that turbos up to 29 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,960 2.6 GHz. So the kinds of use cases that 30 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:07,360 they want to show off with tablet Mark are going to be your typical tablet things. So adding filters to a photo, 31 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:11,840 web browsing, video playback, stuff like that. And this one in particular is a 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,680 consortium benchmark. So there's a group a large group of companies very large 33 00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:19,440 companies that are trying to make it so that well it's in it's important for 34 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:23,520 them to validate on their side but also so that consumers know what to look for 35 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:28,160 when they're shopping for a tablet. Now, moving over here, we've got an example 36 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,520 of this is a this is just an open completely open benchmark. And this 37 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:35,920 one's really different from that one in that it's called CR Expert. And unlike 38 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:42,800 that one, which is actually Android, iOS, and Windows crossplatform, allowing 39 00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,640 us to finally actually know how the iPad 40 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,400 compares to an Android tablet compared to a Windows table. Excuse me, PC. 41 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:53,040 Sorry, did I say tablet again? compared to a very slim Windows PC with a screen 42 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:56,239 on one side. This one only runs on Chrome OS. It does the same kind of 43 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:59,360 stuff. So, it's going to run through your, you know, your typical web 44 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,560 browsing, look up your stock portfolio, whatever else the case may be. But the 45 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,319 reason this one came about was because we didn't really have a way of knowing 46 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:10,560 aside from, I don't know, like click refresh with like a stopwatch and see if 47 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,080 you can figure out like how fast the page loaded. We didn't really have a way 48 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,879 to quantify, well, who makes the best Chromebook? And here they've got some 49 00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:22,000 solutions from, you know, Intel and 50 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:23,360 brand N or brand A. Actually, they did. 51 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:27,840 They put labels right on it. I guess it's cuz this is a press suite and not necessarily meant to have people running 52 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:31,360 around in here videoing. But the idea was to quantify, well, which Chromebook 53 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:35,280 actually is the best and gives you the best battery life after all. And it's 54 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,440 not an Intel benchmark. This is an open benchmark. So, so the point of working 55 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:43,599 with these guys is it's going to enable a new types of projects that we not 56 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,640 couldn't necessarily tackle in the past. So, you guys have loved seeing stuff 57 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,080 like our whole room liquid cooling thing. Well, we've had a lot of people 58 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,120 ask us for stuff like, "Hey, it's back to school. I got to buy a notebook. How 59 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:58,080 do I determine which one's the best one?" Well, with with some assistance on 60 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,360 streamlining the process, we want to hear from you guys what type of content 61 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,879 you want to see from us in terms of stuff that's more roundup oriented 62 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,560 because we don't have a team of, you know, 16 people to run around and, you 63 00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:13,439 know, benchmark Chromebooks all day. So if these guys are pointing us in the right direction, providing us with a 64 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,400 bunch of stuff from Intel, we go and we find stuff from competitors. We get some 65 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:24,000 feedback from those guys as well. Make sure we're presenting the most balanced suite possible. That gives us way a way 66 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:27,919 more authoritative voice on this kind of what should you buy type content. So 67 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,960 leave comments on this video. I will be checking them out. Let us know what you 68 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:38,320 want us to benchmark particularly on the mobile side. So guys, thanks for 69 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,120 watching this video uh in the Intel like 70 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:45,520 PR suite that I've never been present for before. They have so much cool stuff 71 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,880 here. Guys, don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips so you don't miss any of 72 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:53,400 our CES coverage. Also, check out our sponsors. So, a huge thanks to Phantom 73 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,479 Glass. You can visit them over at store.fantom.glass. They make the best 74 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,080 iron screen protectors that we've ever seen for mobile devices. They're Gorilla 75 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,320 Glass, so they're perfectly clear. They're Gorilla Glass, so they're scratch resistant. and they have a nano 76 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:08,160 coating on the bottom that makes it virtually impossible to apply them with 77 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,840 bubbles underneath them. So, thanks to those guys for sending us here and also 78 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,280 a shout out to HyperX. Those guys have great content over on their YouTube 79 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:19,199 channel. It's youtube.com/hyperex. Lots of gaming oriented stuff and they are a huge part 80 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:23,360 of the reason we're able to be here as well. Thanks again for watching and uh 81 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:27,680 I'll see you at the next video where we'll be showing off Skull Trail. Wait, 82 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,680 that's from 2008. Hold on. Where's he going with this? Watch on to find out.
