Video from Intel CEO Bob Swan to COMPUTEX: did Intel give up on benchmarks?

Video from Intel CEO Bob Swan to COMPUTEX: did Intel give up on benchmarks?

In what is a rather long, and at some points baffling to hear video posted by CEO Bob Swan in  Computex video, Intel pretty much gave up on benchmarks, as people should focus more on the 'platform itself'. He also mentions new product releases like Tiger Lake.

Intel CEO Bob Swan has confirmed that the next generation of laptops based on Tiger Lake processors is coming in a few months. He mentions this in a YouTube from Computex 2020, he talks about the virtues of the Taiwanese fair and its importance on the global technology scene, as well as what Intel has presented this year.

"Later this year," says Swan, "we will introduce Tiger Lake and sure our position as the undisputed leader in mobile computing and PC innovation."

The most interesting thing about all this is the statement he makes in the same video, saying that with the current pandemic, "we have to stop worrying about things as simple as the benchmarks of processors":

"We should see this moment as an opportunity to shift our approach from the benchmark industry to the benefits and impacts of the technology we create. The pandemic has highlighted the need for technology to be built on purpose so that it can meet these changing needs of businesses and consumers. And this requires a customer-obsessed mindset to stay close, anticipate those needs, and develop solutions. In this mindset, the goal is to make sure that we are optimizing for a stronger impact that supports and accelerates the positive benefits for companies and society around the world. ”

This desire to move away from synthetic benchmarks has been a common thread since Computex and E3 last year, to be continued?. Here is that video from Intel CEO Bob Swan, thanks to JamesSneed, Master Guru from our forums for the news:

The majority actually use 1440p 165 hz, though i personally use 4k 60 hz... and yeah, at 60 hz even my old 4930k is plenty.

@4K 60Hz my 4970K system is a bottleneck for the RTX 2080S, even when overclocked, so doubt that a 4930K is plenty.
Even at lower resolutions there is an fps drop with RTX cards with these old CPU's, plenty of comparisons on YouTube showing it, heck even with a 5Ghz OC the 4970K falls behind.

First off its a 4790k, not 4970k. Secondly, the 4790k is a 4 core, the 4930k is a 6 core - which makes all the difference for new games.

And lowering the resolution doesn't lessen the load on the cpu /facepalm

Your right, 4790K, my mistake.
Yes, it does no lessen the CPU load but it does lessen the bottleneck, it's still there though even with the 4930K, which you can OC to somewhere around 4.5GHz?
