Since the birth of the world's first electronic digital computer ENIAC at the University of Pennsylvania on February 14, 1946, computer technology has become an indispensable part of people's daily life after more than 70 years of rapid development.
There are computers everywhere, ranging from companies and enterprises to small individuals for daily entertainment. Gradually, it has developed from desktop computers and three-dimensional computers to current notebooks and laptops, making people's lives richer and more convenient. Today's notebooks are lighter and thinner, with a variety of styles, and prices of various brands. How to choose a product that is cost-effective and suitable for you among many brands? This is indeed a problem for most people who are not proficient in computer technology. After all, not everyone is a computer engineer.
In order to make it easier for consumers to choose products without having to spend energy, Intel's Evo verification platform came into being.
Intel Corporation has been trying to change the situation where each notebook brand does not have a unified specification. In order to improve the consumer experience and unify the standardization of notebook standards, Intel Corporation proposed the "Project Athena" in 2019.
Do you know that AMD has a similar certification, called AMD Advantage? For more details about AMD Advantage, please refer to What is AMD Advantage.
In May 2019, Intel released the first edition of the "Project Athena", which elaborated on Evo-certified laptops that must meet three criteria:
1. Consistent battery responsiveness; this is the theoretical control of performance indicators.
2. The battery life is more than 16 hours in the local video playback mode, and the battery life is more than 9 hours under actual performance conditions; the battery life is more concerned by consumers, especially for people who travel frequently.
3. The system wakes up from sleep in less than 1 second; this standard makes the Windows system wake up slowly problem solved.
In the second edition of the "Project Athena" issued by Intel in 2020, in addition to consistent responses to daily tasks, verification standards have been improved.
1. These laptops can wake up in less than a second, and the battery life can last for more than 9 hours under the full HD display configuration;
2. It can charge the battery for 4 hours in less than 30 minutes on FHD;
3. All these devices will adopt a stylish, thin, and light appearance, thereby inspiring creativity, immersion, and collaboration.
Compared with the first version, the second version is an upgrade to the old version.
"Project Athena" is the code name of the Evo verification platform project. The Evo platform is similar to a high-end product verification standard. Computer brands (such as Lenovo, HP, Dell, Asus, etc.) will use Intel Core 11th-generation processors to Intel for verification. Then, Intel certifies the branded notebooks sent for verification. The verification content includes responsiveness, battery life, connectivity, audio and display, and uses strict standards to test the true performance of the product. After passing the verification of the intel Evo team, you can affix the Evo platform verification label. The basis for applying for verification is that the product must use Intel Iris Xe graphics card and Intel's 11th generation Core processor. Certified products are generally regarded as high-end notebooks, which is conducive to enhancing the persuasiveness of brand-related products and increasing sales.
