Intel® Centrino® 2 and Intel® Core™2 processors with vPro™ technology set a new standard for intelligent business computers by driving lower costs and faster ROI. Which is something both IT and finance can agree on.
Upgrading to new desktop PCs with Intel Core 2 processors with vPro technology gives you over three times the multitasking performance while reducing power consumption and costs.
Upgrading from desktop PCs to notebooks with Intel vPro technology delivers two times the CPU performance and helps reduce energy consumption up to 26 times.
Older PCs can increase security incidents by more than 50 percent.³ Notebook PCs with Intel Centrino 2 processors with vPro technology can boost security and reduce theft.
Erie Insurance projected that deploying PCs with Intel Core 2 processors with vPro technology could help them save $161,253 over three years.
A recent study showed how Intel vPro technology-enabled systems could potentially reduce energy costs by $214,000 a year.
The Indiana Office of Technology calculated that converting its 20,000 desktop systems to PCs with Intel Core 2 processors with vPro technology would reduce desk-side visits by 80 percent and generate over $1.2 million in energy savings.
The savings begin the minute you activate your Intel vPro technology-based PCs. You can recoup your investment in as little as 10 months.³
