Conclusion

It is clear that the industry needs to implement energy-efficient performance measurement tools that provide meaningful results to end-users. Although there are industry organizations that are working in this area, in the interim Intel is proposing a methodology for comparing Intel platforms. This methodology isn’t intended to be the final word, but rather the continuation of an industry discussion on a methodology to meaningfully gauge energy efficiency at a given performance level on the client PC. Intel continues to engage with industry consortia and government agencies to help foster the process of arriving at an industry-created methodology that can be broadly adopted and used across the industry.
