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. Intel does not control or audit the design or implementation of third party benchmarks or Web sites referenced in this document. Intel encourages all of its customers to visit the referenced Web sites or others where similar performance benchmarks are reported and confirm whether the referenced benchmarks are accurate and reflect performance of systems available for purchase. Relative performance is calculated by assigning a baseline value of 1.0 to one benchmark result, and then dividing the actual benchmark result for the baseline platform into each of the specific benchmark results of each of the other platforms, and assigning them a relative performance number that correlates with the performance improvements reported.

Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor. Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. For more information including details on which processors support HT Technology, see here Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a Platform with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your platform manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) requires a computer system with Intel® Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules and an Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). Intel TXT also requires the system to contain a TPM v1.s. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/security. In addition, Intel TXT requires that the original equipment manufacturer provides TPM functionality, which requires a TPM-supported BIOS. TPM functionality must be initialized and may not be available in all countries. Intel ® AES-NI requires a computer system with an AES-NI enabled processor, as well as non-Intel software to execute the instructions in the correct sequence. AES-NI is available on Intel® Core™ i5-600 Desktop Processor Series, Intel® Core™ i7-600 Mobile Processor Series, and Intel® Core™ i5-500 Mobile Processor Series. For availability, consult your reseller or system manufacturer. For more information, see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel- advanced-encryption-standard-instructions-aes-ni/ Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor series, not across different processor sequences. See http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number for details.

Cloud technologies are being used today to generate higher Alpha. Consult with Intel when creating and optimizing your “Cloud” solutions. 3

By Nature, Cloud is a Disruptive Capability Disruptive Business Capability1 An improved performance along an operational trajectory that traditionally has not been valued Sustaining Business Capability An improved performance along an operational trajectory that traditionally has been valued • Example: The jet engine was a radical but sustaining innovation relative to the piston aircraft engine. 1Dr. Terry Pierce, Architectural Style Innovations: How Disruptive Innovations (Products) Revolutionize Military and DHS Capabilities (Processes), IVI Winter Session, 13 February 2008 Cloud Is Now a Sustaining Business Capability
- 5. Service Delivery Models (Today) • Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) • Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) • Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Service Delivery Models (Tomorrow) • Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) • Business-Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) This model recognizes that a cloud ecosystem requires a reliable and secure network. The three measures used for this service include access (intelligent infrastructure), security (trusted broker) and quality of the experience. • Management-as-a-Service (MaaS) This model recognizes that in both the private and public cloud, there is a very limited ability to manage end-to-end services in a highly distributed environment (an ecosystem which is highly virtualized and in which applications are hosted in multiple areas).

- 9. Cloud Summary: Many firms are past the “pain points” of harnessing Cloud’s promise. The next phase of cloud will be less about cost, more about value. Lower cost structures, new technologies will enable new market participants. Consult with Intel when creating and optimizing your Cloud solutions. 9
