it says that in a furmark+prime95 the CPU goes to 1.3ghz? if that true Intel changed now Turbo boost works, because CPU turbo had the priority on such cases in the past.
Just imagine what the Q704 will cost. Agreed Bay Trail at that price is just excessive (I have a Dell Venue 8 Pro cost me $322 after-tax), its a great piece of kit, but at least switch Bay Trail with a Celeron/Pentium level CPU and charge that price. That blurb did make it sound like the keyboard dock and docking station are included in the package which does significantly ups the value proposition, yet still too high. For the Q704 it'll be a great machine (if it solves the horrible throttling issue the Q702 had), yet it'll likely be $2000+ maxed out. But 12.5" to me at least is a great size, but the weight for that is still too high (both the tablet and dock, 10-15% reduction increases the attractiveness a lot.
Anyways I ran a set of tests on my Venue 8 Pro, I ran them 5 times each (except Bmark) on Chrome to eliminate outliers. Here is the list:
Sunspider 1.0.2 - 537.06 ms
Sunspider 0.9.1 - 561.98 ms
Mozilla Kraken 1.1 - 5893.58 ms
Google Octane V1 - 5457.6
Browsermark 2.0 - 2732.67
WebXPRT - 492.83
Browsermark gave me some issues, and I think this number would be closer to 3000 but alas I gave up on that particular benchmark when it didn't run fully a couple times in a row.
Other than that though, and a bit lower WebXPRT score, it runs pretty well, more or less the same as the Asus T100.
Qualitatively though, I'm very happy overall with the experience with Windows 8.1 on the 8" screen, everything is responsive and works well.
Bring on Airmont -> Cherry Trail.
it's weird. i ran geekbench 3 and i got 618 single-core and 1907 multi-core. how can it be that much lower than the 785/2479 number. the only thing i can think of is the power profile which is on dell/balanced but there is no other choice. ???

Idle-Load delta shocking high. Why is this? One test is not enough though, at least a second device for verification is needed.

Bay Trail-M based.
No idea how reliable their test is, but I think the delta seems OK because high load may stress not only CPU/GPU, but pretty much every other device subsystem.
7.9W delta - sure it worse than 5.1W delta out of Galaxy Note 3, but... I have no idea what notebookchech uses to stress android devices, but I doubt they can find on android something similar to power virus such prime95+furmark.
Also T100TA seems more efficient than Surface 2 which has performance delta 11.7W.
wow. that looks ugly
Delta for A6-1450 is lower and that's a 8W TDP APU.

While in the Acer Aspire V5 122P review - http://www.notebookcheck.com/Test-Acer-Aspire-V5-122P-61454G50NSS-Notebook.92357.0.html - that same A6-1450 has a delta of 10.9W. Or how about the Surface 2 RT - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Microsoft-Surface-2-Tablet.105780.0.html - that has a 11.7W delta?
Much as I like to get a rough idea of power consumption from notebookcheck's reviews I know full well that their accuracy is quite questionable. Which isn't too surprising given that they have how many different reviewers, all of whom may well be using different equipment/slightly different testing methods?
Testing methods should be the same. I was aware that the first A6-1450 test had a much bigger delta. We need at least a second Bay Trail test to verify Bay Trail results. For A6-1450 I don't know, hopefully we get a third test sometime. From 23W Load to 13W Load seems odd. I mean the Samsung ATIV Book 9 requires a fan whereas Bay Trail don't need a fan.
maybe it is because baytrail doesnt hang around its max draw as often as amds parts...also the heat output may vary based on the efficiency of the architecture

Seriously nothing against notebook check but there power measurement is meaningless because they are NOT measuring the power draw at the component level but from the wall outlet. They are basically measuring the power draw of the power adapter. Look at the Asus Transformer Book T100 for example the max power draw is 11.8W, the charger the T100 comes with is rated for 10W, typical external power adapter efficiency level is around 85%, so a 10W rated adapter would draw 11.76W from the outlet.
