One way we assess the XPRT’s ongoing effectiveness is to regularly track the reach of our benchmarks in the global tech press. If tech journalists decide to include an XPRT benchmark in their suite of “go-to” performance evaluation tools, we know that decision reflects a high degree of confidence in the relevance and reliability of our benchmarks. It’s especially exciting for us to see the XPRTs win the trust of more tech press outlets in an ever-increasing number of countries around the world.
Because some of our newer readers may be unaware of the wide variety of tech press outlets that use the XPRTs, we occasionally like to share an overview of recent XPRT-related global tech press activity. For today’s blog, we want to give readers a sampling of the press mentions we’ve seen over the past few months.
Recent mentions include:
