We’ll start as always with PCMark performance. In the meantime, keep these considerations in mind.

AMD’s Trinity is also a bit of an odd comparison, as it’s a full voltage 35W part hopefully we can get some 17W Trinity laptops in for testing to see how AMD’s Ultrabook alternative fares. The quad-core IVB ASUS N56VM is in a different category, obviously, as it uses more power and is significantly larger. It has a smaller form factor, a slower SSD, a higher resolution LCD, and a faster Core i7 IVB ULV processor. The latter is going to be similar in most respects, but it’s also a retail product. We’re only going to highlight two laptops for this roundup: the Ivy Bridge Ultrabook and the ASUS Zenbook Prime UX21A. Please note that not all products are priced the same, though we’ve done our best to minimize differences in the test configurations on several laptops by installing the same Intel 520 240GB SSD used in the prototype IVB Ultrabook. Our graphs will use abbreviated names for the laptops, just to keep things clean, but here is a quick specifications overview of the laptops we’re including in our charts. Here are a few direct comparisons you might be interested in making: i5 IVB ULV vs.

We’ve also added results from Anand’s preview of the ASUS UX21A, which sports a 1080p IPS panel stuffed into an 11.6” form factor along with an i7 ULV processor, and we have the Dell XPS 13 and HP Folio 13 as representatives of Core i7 and Core i5 Sandy Bridge Ultrabooks, respectively.Īs always, should you want to make additional comparisons, head over to Mobile Bench and have at it. (If you’re wondering, we’ve dropped most of the thicker laptops from the comparison, though we’ve kept quad-core IVB as a reference point.) This will give you a high level picture of what you can expect from Ivy Bridge ULV relative to quad-core Ivy Bridge, Trinity, Llano, and several other laptop configurations. We’ve taken most of the performance results from our AMD Trinity review and simply added the Ivy Bridge Ultrabook results to those graphs.
