Intel® Product Technologies for Embedded and Communications Applications
Product technologies for embedded and communications applications enhance security, multitasking, mobility, manageability, reliability, flexibility, performance, and more.
Delivering complete integrated platform solutions that go beyond clock speed, Intel is helping to enable the next-generation of communications and embedded computing applications with these optimized technologies.
Intel® multi-core technology
Intel® multi-core processors offer scalable parallel processing performance in a space- and power-efficient design. Multiple execution cores are packaged into a single chip and can operate at the same power level and in the same footprint as previous single-core processors.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)¹
Providing hardware-based assistance for virtualization software, Intel® VT enables the creation of multiple virtual machines (VM's) that run on a single system.
Manageability technology
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT)² is a hardware-based management tool that provides remote access and management of networked embedded systems-even those that lack a working operating system (OS), hard drive, or are turned off.²
Security technology
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT)³ is a versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel processors and chipsets that help protect against software-based attacks while simultaneously protecting the integrity of data moving through an embedded system.
Intel® QuickAssist Technology
Intel® QuickAssist Technology is a family of interrelated technologies that enable developers to choose and quickly deploy the optimum accelerator for embedded and communications solutions.
Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT)
Intel® I/OAT combined with Intel® QuickData Technology moves data efficiently through embedded networked Intel® multi-core processor-based systems for fast, scalable, and reliable performance.

Multi-core fundamentals
¹ Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and applications enabled for virtualization technology. Functionality, performance or other virtualization technology benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Virtualization technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.
² Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt/.
³ No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology requires a computer system with Intel® Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules and an Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a virtual machine monitor, an OS or an application. In addition, Intel TXT requires the system to contain a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing Group, and specific software for some uses.
