  • FEWER DISRUPTIONS = FULLY ENGAGED STUDENTS Maximize Your Investment in Learning with an Intel® Processor-Powered Chromebook™
    FEWER DISRUPTIONS = FULLY ENGAGED STUDENTS Maximize your investment in learning with an Intel® processor-powered Chromebook™ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chromebook™ devices hit the sweet spot for education. They are easy for students to use and affordable for schools. But not all Chromebooks are created equal. Poor performing Chromebooks can lead to distracted or frustrated students, while better performing Chromebooks can keep students more engaged in their learning. To find out which Chromebooks better engage students while causing the fewest disruptions, our team at Prowess Consulting put two Chromebooks to the test: the ASUS® Chromebook C201, powered by a Rockchip® processor, and the Dell™ Chromebook 11, powered by an Intel® Celeron® processor N2840. We ran the Chromebooks through two typical classroom scenarios and discovered that the Dell Chromebook 11 consistently outperforms the ASUS Chromebook C201 in the classroom because it offers: • Full use of the apps that students need now and in the future • Less wait time so that students can stay focused on learning • More rugged features that can better support daily student use GET BETTER VALUE IN THE CLASSROOM WITH THE DELL™ CHROMEBOOK™ 11 Performance to handle Faster load times Tough enough interactive apps equal more learning time for classroom use 1 | Which Chromebook Is Best for Your Students? Chromebooks are taking the education market by storm. They are a great fit for schools for a variety of reasons, including an easy-to-use cloud-based ecosystem, simple collaboration tools, low IT-maintenance requirements, and an affordable price. The variety of Chromebooks on the market all run the same operating system and might look similar on the outside, but that doesn’t mean that all Chromebooks offer the same performance.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE the Linley Group Says Mobile Processor Market Grew 60 Percent in 2011 Anticipated Growth in “Feature
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Linley Group Says Mobile Processor Market Grew 60 Percent in 2011 Anticipated Growth in “Feature Phones” Will Increase Demand for Integrated Processors MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – September 11, 2012 – Due to strong growth in the mobile device market, The Linley Group, the industry's leading source for independent technology analysis of semiconductors for networking, communications, mobile, and wireless applications, estimates that the mobile processor market grew more than 60 percent in 2011. The estimate is included as part of the analyst firm’s latest report released today, “A Guide to Mobile Processors, Fourth Edition,” which details technical and market trends driving mobile processors. The report covers application processors and integrated processors targeted for use in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and e-readers. The analyst firm expects demand for integrated processors – those that combine an application processor with a cellular baseband – to increase due to growth in low-end and midrange smartphones. “After a dip in demand for integrated processors, we expect growth to resume next year, with 73 percent of smartphones using an integrated processor by 2016,” said Linley Gwennap, president and principal analyst with The Linley Group. “This is due to increased demand for low-end and midrange phones, as opposed to high-end smartphones that typically rely on standalone application processors.” The new report also details the rise in 3D graphics performance to enable better web browsing and gaming. The need for sophisticated 3D graphics drives changes in overall mobile processor design, with many chips now integrating high-performance CPU cores, along with graphics processing units (GPUs) and increased memory bandwidth.
