|
Intel® Power Optimizer and Processor C-states
|
- Intel® Power Optimizer increases periods of silicon sleep state across the platform ingredients, including the processor, chipset, and third-party system components, to reduce power. Processor C-states (C8-C10) provide low idle power.
|
Configurable TDP Power
|
- With Configurable TDP, the processor is now capable of modulating the maximum sustained power vs. performance. Configurable TDP thus provides design and performance flexibility to control system performance based on the cooling capability and usage scenarios. For example, a detachable Ultrabook™ may need more performance when used in a full clamshell mode (vs. tablet mode), or when balanced performance is needed in a quiet conference room setting.
|
Intel® 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.
|
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel® AVX2)
|
- A set of 256-bit instructions to deliver enhanced performance on floating point and integer-intensive apps. Includes instructions for FMA (Fused Multiply Add) which can deliver better performance on media and floating point computations, including face recognition, professional imaging, high-performance computing, consumer video and imaging, compression, and encryption.5
|
Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC)
|
- A technology based on the ACPI 5.0 specification that dynamically modulates performance vs. active application power. It reduces active power to deliver better battery life and allows deep low power states to be reached.
|
Intel® Software Guard Extensions (Intel® SGX)
|
- A collection of instructions, APIs, libraries, and tools to help protect select code and data from disclosure or modification through the use of enclaves, which are protected areas of execution in memory
|
Intel® BIOS Guard
|
- An augmentation of existing chipset-based BIOS flash protection capabilities targeted to address the increasing malware threat to BIOS flash storage. It helps protect the BIOS flash from modification without platform manufacturer authorization, helps defend the platform against low-level DOS (denial of service) attacks, and restores BIOS to a known good state after an attack.
|
Intel® Boot Guard
|
- Hardware-based boot integrity protection that helps prevent unauthorized 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—Measures the initial boot block into the platform storage device such as trusted platform module (TPM) or Intel® Platform Trust Technology.
- VERIFIED BOOT—Cryptographically verifies the platform initial boot block using the boot policy key.
|
Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT)
|
- A trusted element of the platform execution that provides enhanced security by verifying the boot portion of the boot sequence which helps protect against viruses and malicious software attacks.
|
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST)
|
- Offers excellent levels of performance, responsiveness, and expandability. Take advantage of the enhanced performance and lower power consumption available with Intel® RST with one or more SATA or PCIe storage drives. With additional SATA drives, Intel RST provides quicker access to digital photo, video, and data files with RAID 0, 5, and 10, and greater data protection against a storage disk drive failure with RAID 1, 5, and 10. Dynamic Storage Accelerator unleashes the incredible performance of Solid State Drives (SSD) when multitasking.
|
Intel® Speed Shift Technology
|
- Delivers dramatically quicker responsiveness with single-threaded, transient (short duration) workloads, such as web browsing, by allowing the processor to more quickly select its best operating frequency and voltage for optimal performance and power efficiency.
|
Intel® High Definition Audio
|
- Integrated audio support enables premium digital surround sound and delivers advanced features such as multiple audio streams and jack re-tasking.
