All three Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 SKUs in review: Core i5-1240P, i7-1260P, or i7-1280P OLED?

[Redaktion]

The Core i7-1280P CPU is $100 more than the i7-1260P option while the OLED panel costs an additional $200 over standard IPS. Let's find out exactly what kinds of benefits these pricier options can actually bring to the table.

Aren't these OLED also reflective?

Very interesting comparison, also compared to 1230U!

However, the 0 ns values of AIDA64 / Memory Latency for
- Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 4K
- Dell XPS 13 9315, i5-1230U
- Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 i5-1240p
are wrong because physically impossible and so "smaller is better" is also wrong.

and so "smaller is better" is also wrong.

No, it's true - smaller latency of ram always is better for performance. It's like 4k IOPS in SSD, only orders of magnitude more important for the operation of the software than for the SSD throughput.

No, it's true - smaller latency of ram always is better for performance.

Niko, think again! True is:

Smaller is better for those values larger than 0!

"Smaller is better" is false as long as at least one value is 0.
