Now, what I have here to demonstrate is, I've taken some
content off of my Sony 1080 camcorder, and I've put the content
on both systems here, and I'm going to start using Windows
Media encoder and encoding. So what I'm doing with Windows
Media encoder is, I've taken that content and I'm putting it into a
format that's more acceptable for distribution to my family,
friends, co-workers like you, Dadi. And this is somewhat boring,
however, here's where the demo starts to kick in. Our users are
multitaskers now. We always have a dozen things going on at a
time, and so what I'm going to do here is start both of these
videos off, and what you'll see on the Centrino Duo platform on
the audience's right is fantastic playback, whereas on the
competitive platform, we've got really an unusable kind of jerky
video.
But the real story here is told by this graph. These graphs
represent Windows performance monitor that comes with the
operating system, and this is monitoring the battery discharge
rate. So, how quickly, in watts, that it's drawing. And what we
see on the competitor's platform is somewhere between 42 and
50 throughout our testing, whereas on the Centrino Duo, we're
seeing somewhere between 30 and in this case, 35. So during
this benchmark, we've been seeing about a 30 percent battery
efficiency performance improvement here, and of course your
mileage may vary.
David Perlmutter: Is that our newest technology here on the Centrino Duo
platform?
