What’s New: ORB & Rate My System

Online Results Browser: This is probably the single coolest feature we’ve put into Intel® DHCAT 3.0. We have wanted to add an online component to Intel® DHCAT since the beginning, but development schedules and the implementation complexity – some due to the complexity of our earlier results screens – kept that from happening. But Intel® DHCAT 3.0 will have an Online Results Browser (ORB), where you can upload your own Intel® DHCAT results, view others, and compare your system to other Media PCs out there. Here’s a screenshot to give you an idea what the ORB will look like:

In the ORB, you’ll be able to see how your system scored, and how it compares to other Media PCs. To the most capable system go all bragging rights. In addition, you’ll be able to search the ORB, looking for systems that are more capable in the areas you care about most. You’ll also be able to search based on components (amount of memory, CPU type, etc.).

You can compare multiple systems in the ORB, and quickly see which system is best at which capability, as shown here:

Rate My System: This may well be the single coolest piece of technology we’re introducing in Intel® DHCAT 3.0: the ability to see estimated test results for your system…without even running a single test on your system!

We are developing a Rate My System where you can visit the Intel® Capabilities Forum web site, and after about 10-15 seconds to examine your system’s installed components, the ORB compares your system to others in the ORB database. It will then show you results from the system most like yours. This is estimation, and mileage will vary. But it will give you a good initial idea how capable your system is as a Media PC.
