Good for PC shopping

This is a great app to use when shopping for a new computer (or processor upgrade), manufacturers love to put a CPU in that is... lacking... in some way. It saves them a few cents right away and causes the consumer to be upgrading again sooner. Know what youre buying.

Nice

Has a helpful information really nice

Good app, but a but resource-heavy

Despite response from Intel representatives in earlier version reviews stating that in-app updates on low memory devices were fixed, the app still cannot function properly on my iPod Touch 4th Generation (iOS 6.0.1). My device is about as unloaded as it gets, as well. I barely have more than 1 page of apps, and I made sure there was nothing running in the background, I closed everything in the multi-tasking bar thing, and attempted to update ARK from a fresh power-on. When updating, the app crashes, due to low memory according to logs. After an interrupted update, the app cannot be reopened, it hangs on the loading screen indefinitely (I let it try for several hours). The app must be deleted and re-downloaded from the app store. Other than not being able to update though, the app is generally good. I have noticed another small bug, when I selected a few mobile Haswell i7 chips and compared them, there was randomly an additional chip in the comparison that I had not selected to be compared. This happened consistently. Also, the "back" button is in a strange spot. I would expect it to be in the top left or bottom left (preferred), but for some reason it is in the top middle, which is not a comfortable place to reach. You also cover up part of the screen with your hand, so you cant really hover over the back button while reading. While Im at it, itd be nice if the back button had a bit of a wider berth between it and any other buttons. Complaints aside, this app is a good simple library app, very handy for reference. —LTT Intel Response Squad Member

Great app

I build a lot of computers and this helps me quickly look up all specifications on any intel processor or product. Over all this is a great app.

Awesome!

Very useful resource, I will use it often. Thanks Intel!

Useful but annoying

Pro: provides all the specs for Intel products. You can select a few or many items and compare them. Con: the interface is too touch-sensitive. While attempting to scroll thru a list, it will think you tapped something and open it. OEM products arent included in ARK. Example: The quad-port 1000 VT adapter, nowhere to be found.

Bad

Not very good. This app has all the information about the products. The interface is terrible. It feels like a terrible web browser. Comparing between processor is not what I was looking for. I expect better from intel.

Great resource!

Easy to navigate, quick reference to nearly every Intel product. Thank you, Intel!

Great app

Good app and great products

Th app I have been waiting for

Really good app to find information about processors and compare them. I havent found anything as good as this anywhere else. Thanks.

Pretty useful app

I find myself comparing CPUs very often, Im a nerd, but I work in IT and do all the purchasing for a large school system. :) This app is very handy!

Excellent app!

I research and compare Intel cpus all the time. I stumbled across this app today, and decided to give it a shot. It works great, providing all of the info I was looking for in a similar format to the site. I am sure this will quickly become a favorite app. 4th gen iPod touch 6.1.5

Kuddos to Intel for making a great looking app!

This app functions great and looks even better, fits perfectly with the ios 7 design style!

intel is great

love intel!

Great!

Im building a new PC and ARK is helping me a lot! Would be great to have filter options on the app, like ARK site.

Great for quick things

If you want to be a geek and have everything at you fingertips, this is nice

Updated responses from Intel ARK team

Thanks for the reviews. Hope you find the app useful. Responses: @Belac9615: we fixed that iPad scrolling issue. Hopefully its working better for you in the latest release. @Pepperdotnet: the behavior you describe was a bug in a swipe-back feature we attempted. Our last release removed that feature and bug. You should not see that scrolling bug anymore. --- ARK Team

Awesome new design

I honestly didnt expect the app to get any visual upgrades, but I was wrong. Overall I think it looks much better and I defiantly recommend this app for any computer enthusiast, you never know when you may have to look up some random 2005 Intel Pentium.

Intel Greatness

Wow this app is very impressive. It is very informal of all Intel products. It gives you full details of compatibility. The UI is smooth & easy to navigate. The categories are well organized. Great job Intel, you always guarantee satisfaction.

Freezes when viewing 6 gen CPUs

The app is great when it doesnt freeze, I do keep it up to date and am using a iPhone 6 so the freezing is probably software related. Still a decent free app for Intel hardware info.
