GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Manufactured with lead-free and halogen-free component packages.

HYPER-THREADING TECH

Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.

HD GRAPHICS

Play HD videos with exceptional clarity, view and edit even the smallest details of photos, and play today’s modern games.

QUICK SYNC VIDEO

Delivers excellent video conferencing capability, fast video conversion, online sharing, and fast video editing and authoring.

CLEAR VIDEO HD

Visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for HD playback and immersive web browsing.

INTEGRATED MEMORY CONTROLLER

Now supporting DDR4 offers stunning memory read/write performance through efficient prefetching algorithms, lower latency, and higher memory bandwidth as compared to previous generations.

SMART CACHE

Dynamically allocates shared cache to each processor core, based on workload, reducing latency and improving performance.

VIRTUALISATION TECHNOLOGY

Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. Offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD

A fast, secure AES engine for a variety of encryption apps, including whole disk encryption, file storage encryption, conditional access of HD content, internet security, and VoIP. Consumers benefit from protected internet and email content, plus fast, responsive disk encryption.

POWER OPTIMIZER & PROCESSOR C-STATES

Intel Power Optimizer increases periods of silicon sleep state across the platform ingredients, including the CPU, chipset, and third-party system components, to reduce power.

OVERCLOCKING

On select products, CPU/graphics and memory can be run at frequencies above the rated frequency of the part resulting in higher performance.

SECURE KEY

Security hardware-based random number generator that can be used for generating high-quality keys for cryptographic (encryption and decryption) protocols. Provides quality entropy that is highly sought after in the cryptography world for added security.

TRANSACTIONAL SYNCHRONIZATION EXTENSIONS

TSX-NI is a set of instructions focused on enterprise-level multi-threaded performance scaling, making parallel operations more efficient via improved control of software threads and locks. This offers performance benefits for enterprise-level big data analytics/business intelligence and visualisation apps, which involve multi-user collaboration. Available on the Core i7 and Core™ i5 processors with Intel vPro technology and unlocked processors.

ADVANCED VECTOR EXTENSIONS

AVX 2.0 is an extension of AVX 1.0 with new optimised instructions to deliver enhanced performance on floating point–intensive apps. AVX 2.0 adds 256 bit integer instructions and new instructions for FMA (Fused Multiply Add). FMA delivers better performance on media and floating point computations, including face recognition; professional imaging; high-performance computing; consumer video and imaging; compression; and encryption.

DEVICE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY WITH BIOS GUARD

Intel BIOS Guard is an augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It protects the BIOS flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorisation, helps defend the platform against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after an attack.

DEVICE PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY WITH BOOT GUARD

Hardware-based boot integrity protection that helps prevent unauthorised software and malware takeover of boot blocks critical to a system’s function, thus providing added level of platform security based on hardware. Configurable boot types include: Measured Boot and Verified Boot.

OS GUARD

Intel BIOS Guard is an augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It protects the BIOS flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorisation, helps defend the platform against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after an attack.

PLATFORM TRUST TECHNOLOGY

Hardware-based boot integrity protection that helps prevent unauthorised software and malware takeover of boot blocks critical to a system’s function, thus providing added level of platform security based on hardware. Configurable boot types include: Measured Boot and Verified Boot.

VMCS SHADOWING

Intel BIOS Guard is an augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It protects the BIOS flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorisation, helps defend the platform against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after an attack.

IDENTITY PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY

Hardware-based boot integrity protection that helps prevent unauthorised software and malware takeover of boot blocks critical to a system’s function, thus providing added level of platform security based on hardware. Configurable boot types include: Measured Boot and Verified Boot.

OPTANE MEMORY TECHNOLOGY

Provides performance improvements as well as fast app response times for system acceleration and responsiveness

PCI EXPRESS 3.0 INTERFACE

Offers up to 8 GT/s for fast access to peripheral devices and networking with up to 16 lanes. PCI Express ports can be configured as x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 depending on motherboard designs.

CONFLICT FREE

“Conflict-free” means “DRC conflict-free”, which is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules to mean products that do not contain conflict minerals (tin, tantalum, tungsten and/or gold) that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or adjoining countries.
