ivy bridge架构_Windows 8上面向开发人员的第三代Ivy Bridge英特尔超极本参考硬件的初步印象

ivy bridge架构

Some of the software folks at Intel sent me an Ivy Bridge Ultrabook to look at. It will never be production hardware - this laptop will never be made or sold. That doesn't mean it's exclusive or special or extra fancy, instead, it's meant to be a reference example for hardware makers to make Ultrabooks of their own.

英特尔的一些软件专家给我送了一本Ivy Bridge Ultrabook进行研究。 它将永远不会是生产硬件-永远不会制造或出售这款笔记本电脑。 这并不意味着它是排他性的，特殊的或额外的花哨，而是要成为硬件制造商自己制造Ultrabooks的参考示例。

I did an unboxing and initial impressions video which I've embedded here.

我做了一个拆箱和初步印象的视频，我已将其嵌入此处。

Now that I've been using this Ultrabook for a while, these are my updated impressions. I've separated them into categories to make sure that we all keep things straight.

既然我已经使用这本超级本一段时间了，这些是我的最新印象。 我将它们分为几类，以确保我们都保持直率。

• Hardware - This isn't a production Ultrabook. In fact, as a piece of hardware it's got problems, which I will go over. However, since Intel doesn't actual MAKE laptops, you should take all those observations with a huge grain of salt. Rather than taking my criticisms as impugning this specific laptop (that will never exist) they should instead be a warning to other Ultrabook makers. If you're going to make a tiny laptop to compete with a MacBook Air  - or surpass it - you better get the details right.

  硬件-这不是生产的Ultrabook。 实际上，作为硬件，它存在问题，我将继续解决。 但是，由于Intel并不是真正的MAKE笔记本电脑，因此您应该对所有这些观察结果大加盐分。 与其说我的批评会干扰这种特定的笔记本电脑(永远不会存在)，不如说是对其他Ultrabook制造商的警告。 如果您要制造一款微型笔记本电脑以与MacBook Air竞争或超越MacBook Air，则最好正确选择细节。

• Software - The Ultrabook came with Windows 8 Release Preview which I promptly torched and installed the release of Windows 8. It's my personal expectation that an Ultrabook not just be a good Windows laptop, it should "just work" with Windows 8 and do all the things we expect any laptop do, like be fast, boot quickly, sleep quickly and not crash.

  软件-Ultrabook随Windows 8 Release Preview一起提供，我Swift将其安装并安装了Windows 8发行版。我个人期望Ultrabook不仅是一款出色的Windows笔记本电脑，它还应该“可以”与Windows 8一起使用并完成所有工作。我们期望任何笔记本电脑都能做到的事情，例如快速，快速启动，快速睡眠而不崩溃。

• Sensors and Auxiliary Hardware - Why is sensors its own section? Because its these invisible sensors that will change how we think of laptops in the coming year. Sure they all have keyboards and screens but soon every laptop will have touchscreens and accelerometer and gyroscopes and location sensors.

  传感器和辅助硬件-为什么传感器是其自己的部分？ 因为这些隐形传感器将改变我们对来年笔记本电脑的看法。 当然他们都有键盘和屏幕，但是很快每台笔记本电脑都将配备触摸屏，加速度计，陀螺仪和位置传感器。

• Development and Speed - Any $399 Walmart Laptop can run Word and your blog. I am not interested in reviewing those products for those activities. I want to know if I can replace my 10 pound BEAST of a laptop - my beloved Lenovo W520 - with a 3 pound Ultrabook. Can a slim laptop run Hyper-V VMs and multiple instance of Visual Studio while running multiple monitors?

  开发和速度-任何399美元的Walmart笔记本电脑都可以运行Word和您的博客。 我没有兴趣为这些活动查看这些产品。 我想知道是否可以用3磅的Ultrabook替换10磅的BEAST BEAST笔记本电脑-我心爱的Lenovo W520。 小型笔记本电脑可以在运行多个监视器时运行Hyper-V VM和Visual Studio的多个实例吗？

That is the underlying question that should pervade this review. Can a 3 point laptop replace a 6 to 10 pound guaranteed powerhouse desktop replacement and be my new "on the road laptop."

这是应该进行这次审查的根本问题。 3点笔记本电脑能否代替6到10磅保证的强力台式机替代品，并成为我的新“上路笔记本电脑”。

硬件印象 (Hardware Impressions)

Again, this isn't hardware that will ever be released, it's just a reference. And frankly, that's a good thing. It's not very good. This prototype "Intel branded" Ultrabook has a lousy keyboard and a mediocre touchpad that is a pain to use. Literally my fingertips hurt from these keys. The keys are made out of the same hard plastic that the case is made from and they have a hard clicky travel that is consistently irritating to the point of numbness. I realize I am coming from a Lenovo - the recognized king of keyboards - but this is just painful. Still, Intel is a chip company so I won't belabor the point for a non-existent product. In this case it's a good thing they aren't making laptops because this keyboard would be a deal breaker.

同样，这不是将要发布的硬件，而只是参考。 坦白说，那是一件好事。 不太好这个原型为“英特尔品牌”的Ultrabook具有糟糕的键盘和平庸的触摸板，很难使用。 从字面上看，这些按键使我的指尖受伤。 按键由与表壳相同的硬质塑料制成，并且按键有棘手的棘手行程，会持续刺激麻木感。 我意识到我来自联想的键盘之王联想-但这很痛苦。 英特尔仍然是一家芯片公司，所以我不会为不存在的产品而苦恼。 在这种情况下，他们不生产笔记本电脑是一件好事，因为该键盘会破坏交易。

The only thing worse than the keyboard is the touchpad. It's an ALPS brand touchpad which means it has a kind of multi-touch. Initially this Ultrabook came with older drivers and two-finger scrolling wasn't enabled. This 24 hour period without easy scrolling was a nightmare. It's not surprising how quickly two-finger scrolling has become the expected standard with touchpads. Once you've baked it into your brain it's required equipment to the point that I truly would not purchase any laptop or Ultrabook without a two finger scroll.

比键盘更糟糕的是触摸板。 这是ALPS品牌的触摸板，这意味着它具有多点触摸功能。 最初，此Ultrabook带有较旧的驱动程序，并且未启用两指滚动。 这24小时内没有轻松滚动的过程是一场噩梦。 不足为奇的是，两指滚动已很快成为触控板的预期标准。 将其放入大脑后，它是必需的设备，以至于我真的不会在没有两指滚动的情况下购买任何笔记本电脑或Ultrabook。

I almost wrote this laptop off until I got all the latest drivers installed. The ALPS touchpad now includes new drivers for not only two finger scrolling (yay!) but also something called "Edge Action" that essentially takes the edge-based touchscreen gestures from Windows 8 tablets and assigns it to the touchpad. Swipe in from the right to get the charms menu, in from the left to task switch and down from the top for menus and browser tabs. This is such a clean and clear extension of the "touch" experience that if I were in charge of the Windows hardware ecosystem I would require it. Pinch to zoom works as well, just as it should. Kudos to the ALPS driver guys. Your friends at Synaptics (the makers of the Lenovo Trackpad) had better take notice. Multitouch isn't just for screens, and I will no longer buy a laptop without a multi--touch touchpad and neither should you.

在安装所有最新驱动程序之前，我几乎把笔记本电脑注销了。 ALPS触摸板现在包括新的驱动程序，这些驱动程序不仅用于两根手指滚动(是！)，而且还用于所谓的“ Edge Action”(边缘动作)，该驱动程序实际上采用Windows 8平板电脑中基于边缘的触摸屏手势并将其分配给触摸板。 从右侧向内轻扫以获取超级按钮菜单，从左侧向右轻扫以切换任务，从顶部向下拉动以获取菜单和浏览器选项卡。 这是对“触摸”体验的干净清晰的扩展，以至于如果我负责Windows硬件生态系统，我将需要它。 捏缩放也可以正常工作。 对ALPS司机们表示敬意。 您在Synaptics(联想触控板的制造商)的朋友最好留意。 多点触摸不仅适用于屏幕，而且我将不再购买没有多点触摸板的笔记本电脑，也不应该。

From my perspective saying something is an Ultrabook is more than just saying "we can be a MacBook Air too," it's having a cohesive and completely self-consistent hardware and software mix where everything just works as it should and works seamlessly. Day one without the right drivers was a tiresome exercise that had me ready to give up. Day two of mousing was a smooth and happy experience that rivaled or surpassed the MacBook Air and the only difference was touchpad drivers. I hope that these drivers are "in the box."

从我的角度来看，说一本超极本不仅仅是说“我们也可以成为MacBook Air”，它具有内聚的，完全自洽的硬件和软件组合，一切都按其应有的方式工作并且可以无缝地工作。 第一天，没有合适的驾驶员，这是一项艰苦的锻炼，使我准备放弃。 第二天的滑鼠是一种平稳而快乐的体验，可与MacBook Air媲美或超越MacBook Air，唯一的区别是触摸板驱动程序。 我希望这些驱动程序能“发挥作用”。

触摸屏 (TouchScreen)

A touchscreen on a laptop? Why? What kind of madness is this? After using it for a while having a touchscreen is a nice to have. The mistake reviewers make is thinking that we the users are expected to be swiping around all day with tired gorilla arms. The real truth is that it's just a third input device. Keyboard, mouse, screen. Now everything can be touched - and preferably ordered like this by frequency of use, at least for a laptop.

笔记本电脑上的触摸屏？ 为什么？ 这是什么疯狂？ 触摸屏使用一段时间后，感觉很不错。 审阅者犯的错误是，我们希望用户每天都用疲倦的大猩猩手臂来回滑动。 真正的事实是它只是第三个输入设备。 键盘，鼠标，屏幕。 现在，所有东西都可以被触摸-至少对于笔记本电脑而言，最好按使用频率排序。

I find myself reaching for the screen a few times an hour. Not enough to get tired and not enough to pretend I am on a tablet, but enough to appreciate it. Sometimes clicking Start and touching a large icon is just faster than the mouse and more relaxed than the keyboard. After a while I even used the taskbar buttons by touch to open apps as those buttons are just a few inches from the top row of function keys.

我发现自己一个小时要去屏幕前几次。 不够疲倦，不足以假装我在平板电脑上，但足以欣赏它。 有时单击“开始”并触摸一个大图标仅比鼠标快，并且比键盘更轻松。 一段时间后，我什至通过触摸来使用任务栏按钮来打开应用程序，因为这些按钮距功能键顶行只有几英寸。

I often used the touch screen to position the cursor when editing large amounts of text. When browsing long form reading on Instapaper I would scroll with the screen, usually resting my hand in the lower right corner of the screen and scrolling with my thumb. It's a very natural position.

编辑大量文本时，我经常使用触摸屏来定位光标。 在Instapaper上浏览长格式阅读时，我会在屏幕上滚动，通常将手放在屏幕的右下角，然后用拇指滚动。 这是很自然的位置。

This reference hardware includes 5 touch points and built-in apps like Maps worked great. It did tend to miss some taps though, usually just one finger doing basic stuff. I'm assuming this is a hardware driver issue, perhaps trying to prevent unwanted taps. It was noticeable enough to be irritating so I'd recommend to anyone purchasing an Ultrabook with a touch screen to spend some time with the hardware and ensure it's consistent and reliable.

该参考硬件包括5个接触点，内置应用(如“地图”)效果很好。 虽然它确实会错过一些轻拍，但通常只有一根手指在做基本操作。 我假设这是一个硬件驱动程序问题，也许试图防止不必要的点击。 它足够引人注意，因此很烦人，因此我建议任何购买带触摸屏的Ultrabook的人花一些时间在硬件上，并确保其一致性和可靠性。

软件 (Software)

Let's get back to drivers. There's two kinds of drivers in the Windows World. There's what they call "inbox" drivers and there's 3rd party drivers you install later. I am a big fan of inbox drivers, myself. These mean that your computer and all it's bits and pieces will "just work" out of the box when you turn it on, even if you've just installed Windows. These drivers are super-tested and are super-stable. They may not give you all the most advanced features but they will "Just Work." If you want to get the 3rd party stuff you can install those.

让我们回到驱动程序。 Windows World中有两种驱动程序。 他们称之为“收件箱”驱动程序，稍后会安装第三者驱动程序。 我自己是收件箱驱动程序的忠实粉丝。 这意味着，即使您刚刚安装Windows，也可以在打开计算机时立即使用计算机及其所有零碎组件。 这些驱动程序经过了超级测试，并且非常稳定。 它们可能不会为您提供所有最高级的功能，但它们会“正常工作”。 如果您想获得第三者的东西，可以安装它们。

Everything on this laptop worked pretty well out of the box. In my experience computers started working pretty well out of the box without hunting for drivers around the time Windows 7 came out. I am hoping that this patterns continues with Windows 8. The drivers I've been installing on this pre-release laptop have been pretty rough and very crashy so I've reverted back to the stability of the "inbox drivers" but just uninstalling the add-on ones. I assume by the time Ultrabooks in this generation come out that all the kinks will be worked out.

这款笔记本电脑上的所有东西开箱即可很好地工作。 以我的经验，在Windows 7发行时，计算机开箱即用地运行得很好，而无需寻找驱动程序。 我希望这种模式在Windows 8上仍能继续。我在此预发行版笔记本电脑上安装的驱动程序非常粗糙且非常崩溃，因此我恢复了“收件箱驱动程序”的稳定性，但只是卸载了附加的。 我认为到这一代Ultrabooks出现时，所有的问题都将得到解决。

传感器和辅助硬件 (Sensors and Auxiliary Hardware)

Sensors are getting cheap enough to include and integrated directly into Windows 8 to the point where we'll just assume that every laptop has a compass and the like. Window 8 actually formalizes a whole Sensor Platform which makes developing to them a lot easier than before and doesn't require the application developer (you and me) to think about 3rd party drivers. We just call standard APIs. The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) includes Sensor Diagnostic Tools we can use to explore our hardware's capabilities.

传感器的价格已经足够便宜，可以直接包含在Windows 8中并集成到Windows 8中，以至于我们仅假设每台笔记本电脑都有指南针等。 Window 8实际上正式化了整个传感器平台，这使向他们的开发比以前容易得多，并且不需要应用程序开发人员(您和我)考虑第三者驱动程序。 我们只是调用标准API。 Windows驱动程序工具包(WDK)包括传感器诊断工具，我们可以使用它来探索硬件的功能。

For example, Ultrabooks can have any or all of these sensors:

例如，超极本可以具有以下任何或所有传感器：

1. GPS (recommended): Every machine should have this now since most browsers and all map applications can use it.

   GPS (推荐)：由于大多数浏览器和所有地图应用程序都可以使用它，因此每台机器现在都应该具有此功能。

2. Accelerometer (recommended): If you have a spinning hard drive the machine could shut it off if if feels it's being dropped. It's more likely that this sensor could be useful for speed and mapping.

   加速度计(推荐)：如果硬盘驱动器旋转，则机器可能会在感觉掉落时将其关闭。 该传感器更有可能对速度和贴图有用。

3. Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) (recommended): This reference Ultrabook automatically changes the brightness of the screen based on ambient lights.

   环境光传感器( ALS ) (推荐)：本参考书Ultrabook会根据环境光自动更改屏幕的亮度。

4. Compass: Again, useful for mapping.

   指南针：同样，对于映射很有用。

5. Gyroscope: Ultrabooks that have foldable screens that rotate and bend backwards will automatically adjust screen orientation for you.

   陀螺仪：具有可折叠屏幕并向后旋转和向后弯曲的超级本会自动为您调整屏幕方向。

This Ultrabook also has NFC (Near Field Communication) as well as Bluetooth 4.0.

该超极本还具有NFC(近场通信)和Bluetooth 4.0。

Here's a screenshot of the Sensor Diagnostic Tool that comes with the WDK talking to this Ivy Bridge Ultrabook's sensors:

这是WDK与该Ivy Bridge Ultrabook的传感器通信时附带的传感器诊断工具的屏幕截图：

I will likely poke around with these sensors from .NET and see what useful data I can get with them.

我很可能会从.NET中探究这些传感器，看看我可以从中获得什么有用的数据。

发展与速度 (Development and Speed)

As you can see half-way through the unboxing video this little Ultrabook is FAST. It can load Visual Studio 2012 in about 2 to 3 seconds and builds of average-sized projects are also just seconds.

如您所见，在取消装箱视频的过程中，这个小小的Ultrabook非常快。 它可以在大约2到3秒钟内加载Visual Studio 2012，平均大小的项目构建也只需几秒钟。

PERFORMANCE UPDATE: I recently used this Ultrabook to turn 15gigs of video into a 10 minute 1080p memorial video for my Uncle. I had no trouble at all editing and rendering the video and was pretty pleased that was able to do it with a 3lb laptop and not my desktop machine.

性能更新：我最近使用这款Ultrabook将15gig的视频转换为10分钟的1080p纪念视频，供叔叔使用。 我完全没有编辑和渲染视频的麻烦，并且很高兴能够用3lb的笔记本电脑而不是台式机来完成此操作。

While the 3D graphics speed isn't where I'd like to see it, there's a WEI of 8.1 on the hard disk and and 7.2 on the processor. Remember that WEI's are kind of like the Richter Scale. Changing a whole number is a big deal and the difference between a "7 class" and "8 class" device is not only measureable but significant.

虽然我不希望看到3D图形速度，但硬盘的WEI为8.1，处理器的WEI为7.2。 请记住，WEI有点像里氏标度。 更改整数很重要，“ 7类”和“ 8类”设备之间的差异不仅可衡量，而且意义重大。

The 8.1 WEI is for the 160gig Intel SSD in this Ultrabook and it's super fast. Visual Studio 2012 is very hard on disks and disk access and this Ultrabook is taking it like a champ. That combined with the quad (UPDATE: It's a physical Dual Core with Hyperthreading so that's 4 logical processors) processor i7 at 2.49GHz means that while there is that (as of yet) unavoidable i7 fan when it's working hard, this machine can cook.

8.1 WEI适用于此Ultrabook中的160gig Intel SSD，并且速度非常快。 Visual Studio 2012在磁盘和磁盘访问方面非常困难，而这款Ultrabook则像冠军一样。 结合 四核 (更新：这是具有超线程的物理双核，因此是4个逻辑处理器)，处理器i7的频率为2.49GHz，这意味着尽管有(至今)不可避免的i7风扇在努力工作时仍可以烹饪。

结论 (Conclusion)

I could develop on an Ultrabook. I could. I didn't think I could. It pains me to say it as I have been carrying around 10lb laptops in the name of power for over a decade. I have always said that I would carry that extra few pounds with me for 20% more power because, hey, all laptops weigh the same when they are sitting on your desktop. However, if you can get me a quad i7 in 3lbs, then we can talk. We are SO close.

我可以在Ultrabook上进行开发。 我可以。 我认为我做不到。 我一直以电源的名义携带约10磅的笔记本电脑超过十年，这让我很难受。 我一直说过，我会随身携带几磅的重量，以增加20％的电量，因为嘿，所有笔记本电脑在台式机上的重量都相同。 但是，如果您能以3磅的重量让我获得Quad i7，那么我们可以谈谈。 我们太近了。

坏人或怪人 (The Bad or Weird)

My major complaints about this Ultrabook from a developer - or even a power user - perspective are:

从开发人员甚至高级用户的角度来看，我对这款Ultrabook的主要抱怨是：

• 4 gigs of RAM? Come on, son. It's 2012, just make it 8 gigs and let's move  on.

  4演出的RAM？ 来吧儿子现在是2012年，就让它8场演出，让我们继续前进。

• The fan. Yes, I admit it, I want a quad-core Intel processor in an iPad and I want it silent and cool as iced tea. Sue me.

  风扇。 是的，我承认，我想要iPad上的四核Intel处理器，并且希望它像冰茶一样安静而凉爽。 告我。

• The keyboard. This is likely an unfair beef as this Ultrabook will never be made, but just a reminder to us all. The thing you touch on the laptop is the most important. Get the keyboard right.

  键盘。 这可能是不公平的事情，因为这款Ultrabook永远不会制造，只是对我们所有人的提醒。 您在笔记本电脑上触摸的东西是最重要的。 正确安装键盘。

• Just 2 USB Ports. I would have appreciated a third USB port, and a smart card slot.

  仅2个USB端口。 我会很感激第三个USB端口和一个智能卡插槽。

善良 (The Good)

• It's small. 3 pounds is small. It's flat and it's easy to throw in a bag. I may give it a try and do an international trip with ONLY this Ultrabook. That is no small risk for me to take, especially as I need my machines to present.

  它很小。 3磅小。 它是扁平的，很容易放入袋子。 我可以尝试一下，仅使用此Ultrabook进行国际旅行。 这对我来说是不小的风险，尤其是当我需要展示我的机器时。

• It's fast. Compared to my wife's 3 year old Dell of similar (albeit swollen) size, this thing moves along at the speed of thought.

  它很快。 与我妻子的三岁大的戴尔类似(尽管肿胀)相比，这件事以思想的速度前进。

• It works. It's like an appliance. It turns on in seconds, shuts off when you close the lid and is reliable. I trust it more than my other laptops.

  有用。 就像一个电器。 它可以在几秒钟内打开，当您合上盖子时可以关闭，并且可靠。 我比其他笔记本电脑更信任它。

• You can touch it. The touchscreen is nice to use when you lean forward and scroll, or reach up to navigate, or just browse. It's not fundamental but touch DOES change the relationship with your laptop.

  您可以触摸它。 当您向前倾斜和滚动，或者向上导航或只是浏览时，触摸屏非常好用。 这不是根本，但是触摸确实会改变与笔记本电脑的关系。

I'll use it full time as a developer some more and report back, especially if I go on a trip with it.

作为开发人员，我将全职使用它并进行报告，尤其是当我旅行时。

Disclosure of Material Connection: Intel sent me this Ultrabook for free in the hope that I would review it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I I would use and think you would find useful. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

实质性联系的披露：英特尔免费向我发送了这本Ultrabook，希望我可以在我的博客中对其进行审查。 无论如何，我只推荐II会使用的产品或服务，并认为您会觉得有用。 我根据联邦贸易委员会的16 CFR第255部分：“关于在广告中使用背书和证明书的指南”进行披露。
