At the beginning of the year, at CES, we announced that we would start working on a touch-based benchmark that would initially run on Windows 8 Metro. We have been hard at work learning about Metro and creating the benchmark itself.
In parallel, we’ve been working on a name for the benchmark. What we settled on was Touch eXperience & Performance Ratings Tool, or TouchXPRT for short. We’re updating the Web pages with the new name and getting the domain properly set up. In the meantime, check out the logo:
Let us know what you think about the name and the logo. We are happy with both!
I’ve been reading that the Windows 8 beta should be available soon and we hope to have an alpha TouchXPRT available within a few weeks of the beta. We will need your help to critique, debug, and expand TouchXPRT from there. Hang onto your hats, these are exciting times in Benchmark Land!
