Intel is doubling tablet sales on a quarterly basis.
And the main reason Windows 8 hasn't taken off is because good tablet technology is just now arriving. A lot of people have been waiting for a good Windows 8 tablet solution.
Windows 8 is a mobility product.
Dual boot is also a great capability and will help to drive Intel tablet solutions.
I believe we will start to see much broader Windows 8 acceptance from here on out. But RT is done...
PS:I'm shocked that Intel's icc team didnt leap up and take credit for the awesome optimization that led to such an outstanding performance.
As usual, this went completely over your head. Intel's compiler did exactly what it should do, optimize code and not execute unnecessary branches that wonder off into the weeds. A poorly written benchmark leaves itself vulnerable to a genuine world class compiler. That's what happened here and it's simply beyond your ability to grasp.
Why is it you only show up when you see an opportunity to bash?
