Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by phantom glass visit store dot phantom dot glass for the best iron screen protectors out there as well as HyperX alright so before we were so rudely interrupted there we were trying to start a video here in the intel PR suite now this is the first time I've ever actually managed to get in touch with intel's PR folks i an error that both sides are were sort of quick to hug it out over and you know make up and we're going to work together moving forward in the future but the whole point of what they're showing here is the importance of benchmarks and not just benchmarks but benchmarks that can be validated and that can be trusted so there's three basic types of benchmarks in the world there's going to be your consortium benchmarks where there's a group of large companies that all work together to keep each other in check and make sure that everything is fair and balanced in the results there's going to be your open source benchmarks that are going to have communities behind them that are going to that means sometimes maybe you got to pay twenty bucks like the one that's over to my right there in order to have a peek at the source code make sure there's no tomfoolery we'll talk about that one in a minute then there's your closed benchmarks which often you'll have to pay an exorbitant fee in order to get access to the source code and poke at it so really there's no community moderation so the point of all this was they're showing off tablet mark why do they care about tablet mark well tablet marks from bap KO and the reason they care about it is because for the first time in a while intel has what they feel is a clear and solid lead in the tablet excuse me sorry icy tablet I meant PC space pcs that are extremely thin to have screens on one side backings on the other not a ton of Io okay I'm just going to call them tablets I'm sorry guys so they have a deposition in the tablet space that puts them in a well a very very strong position moving forward so here they're showing off some pretty crazy stuff this right here is a core m 5y10 turbo is up to 2.6 gigahertz so the kinds of use cases that they want to show off with tablet mark are going to be your typical tablet things so adding filters to a photo web browsing video playback stuff like that and this one in particular is a consortium benchmark so there's a group a large group of companies very large come these that are trying to make it so that well it's important for them to validate on their side but also so that consumers know what to look for when they're shopping for a tablet now moving over here we've got an example of this is a this is just an open completely open benchmark and this one's really different from that one in that it's called see our expert and unlike that one which is actually Android iOS and Windows cross-platform allowing us to finally actually know how the iPad compares to an Android tablet compared to a Windows tablet scuse me PC sorry did I say tablet again compared to a very slim Windows PC with a screen on one side this one only runs on Chrome OS it does the same kind of stuff so it's going to run through your you know your typical web browsing look up your stock portfolio whatever else the case may be but the reason this one came about was because we didn't really have a way of knowing aside from I don't know like click refresh with like a stopwatch and see if you can figure out like how fast the page look we didn't really have a way to quantify well who makes the best Chromebook and here they've got some solutions from you know Intel and brand n or brand a actually they did they put labels right on it I guess it's because this is a press suite and not necessarily meant to have people running around in here videoing but the idea was to quantify well which Chromebook actually is the best and gives you the best battery life after all and it's not an Intel benchmark this is an open benchmark so so the point of working with these guys it's it's going to enable new types of projects that we not going to necessarily tackle in the past so you guys have loved seeing stuff like our whole room liquid cooling thing well we've had a lot of people ask us for stuff like hey it's back to school I got to buy a notebook how do I determine which one's the best one well with with some assistance on streamlining the process we want to hear from you guys what type of content you want to see from us in terms of stuff that's more roundup oriented because we don't have a team of you know 16 people to run around and you know benchmark Chromebooks all day so if these guys are pointing us in the right direction providing us with a bunch of stuff from Intel we go and we find stuff from competitors we get some feedback from those guys as well make sure we're presenting the most balanced suite possible that gives us way on way more authoritative voice on this kind of what should you buy type content so leave comments on this video I will be checking them out let us know what you want us to benchmark particularly on the mobile side so guys thanks for watching this video on in the Intel like PR suite that I've never been present for before they have so much cool stuff here guys don't forget to subscribe to Lions tech tip so you don't miss any of our CES coverage also check out our sponsors so a huge thanks to phantom glass you can visit them over at store phantom dot glass they make the best iron screen protectors that we've ever seen for mobile devices they're Gorilla Glass so they're perfectly clear they're Gorilla Glass so they're scratch resistant and they have a nano coating on the bottom that makes it virtually impossible to apply them with bubbles
