This is one of the biggest laptop upgrades

Intel, who are sponsoring this video have been working on

something big, the Project Athena innovation program,

now this is a codename that's essentially like a spiritual

successor to the original Ultrabook concept.

And then if you see the engineered for mobile performance

visual identifier when you're shopping for a laptop,

It means you're getting a few guaranteed things.

The Dell XPS 13 2in1, which I switched over to as my

Now there are a few things that jump out to me about this,

but probably the number one thing are the graphics.

They are so, so much better, now typically speaking

the integrated graphics on Intel processors were

fine, they were usable but they were not particularly

impressive and certainly really not up for any kind of

Now this is certainly still not a gaming computer,

what you're getting here is a lot more performance

Intel claims about twice as much compared to last generation

and I tend to agree, it is a huge difference, and honestly

it changes a lot of the ways that I use this laptop.

Now previously to get more graphics horsepower

you've had to go to a bigger thicker laptop

Now that's certainly not a bad thing, right?

I mean you're certainly going to get a lot more power,

but because of that you have to sacrifice

a lot of thickness, you have to sacrifice a lot of weight.

You have to sacrifice money to pay for generally

However, this is a nice sweet spot and that

you don't really have any of those trade offs but

you still get much, much better performance than before.

So this is one of the 10th generation processors

at the product name as a 1065G7, of course this being

and some of them do have their own advantages,

but to make sure that you get the Iris Plus graphics

Now we take a quick detour into nerd town

backing all of this up is some very fast RAM.

So this guy is rocking LPDDR4 at a full 3733 megahertz,

And that's sort of one of my big takeaways with not only

But jumping up to this XPS 13, there are a lot of small

It does mean this system is a full generational leap

Which is something that well, but frankly

the laptop space has improved we've seen a little bit here

But pretty much everything is new here, and because of that

we're seeing major performance gains across the spectrum

which is awesome to see, it really is a great upgrade.

Another area that I'm really excited about

we have a brand new CPU core design codenamed "Sunny Cove",

and the big difference here is that we're getting a full 18%

IPC uplift, which means that if both chips are running

at the exact same speed Skylake versus Sunny Cove,

you're getting an additional 18% performance,

and generally speaking, that's definitely enough to notice.

The only thing I was slightly worried about

is that the clock speeds have actually come down

a little bit this generation, however, realistically

especially with the XPS 13 it's actually not a big deal,

the clocks are very similar to what I'm getting on a lot of

8th generation devices, and yet with that additional IPC,

it means that I am seeing a noticeable bump in performance.

Now more than ever though, the performance of these 10th Gen

and the tuning and the chassis that's around them.

you're actually going to see a ton of performance.

But just because you see 10th Gen on the box does not

And with that brings me to my next point,

which I guess should be pretty self explanatory but

Number one would probably be battery life,
