FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE NEW INTEL PENTIUM AND CELERON DESKTOP PROCESSORS²

FEATURE BENEFITS

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) uses processor resources more efficiently, enabling multiple threads to run on each core. As a performance feature, it also increases processor throughput, improving overall performance on threaded software.

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

Intel® Quick Sync Video Delivers excellent video conferencing capability, fast video conversion, online sharing, and fast video editing and authoring.

Intel® 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 generations¹.

Intel® Smart Cache The shared cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. Significantly reduces latency and improves performance.

Intel® Virtualization 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

Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard Instructions ( Intel® AES)

A fast AES engine providing security 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.

Intel® 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

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 2.0 (Intel®AVX2)

AVX 2.0 is an extension of AVX 1.0 with new optimized instructions to deliver enhanced performance on floating point–intensive apps. AVX 2.0 adds 256bit 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.

Intel® BIOS Guard 2.0 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 helps protect the BIOS flash by preventing 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.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE NEW INTEL PENTIUM AND CELERON DESKTOP PROCESSORS²

FEATURE BENEFITS

Intel® Device Protection Technology with 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 (PTT).

Verified Boot— cryptographically verifies the platform initial boot block using the boot policy key.

Intel® OS Guard A hardware-based security feature that protects the OS (operating system) kernel. OS Guard helps prevent use of malicious data or attack code located in areas of memory marked as user mode pages from taking over or compromising the OS kernel. OS Guard is not application-specific and protects the kernel from any type of application.

Intel® Platform Trust Technology A trusted element of the platform execution that provides enhanced security by verifying the boot portion of the boot sequence.

VMCS shadowing VMCS shadowing allows a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) running in a guest (nested virtualization) to access a shadow VMCS memory area using the normal VMRead/VMWrite instructions. This technology reduces overhead for a more natural and responsive user experience. It also allows users to take control of their personal and professional data and apps while being protected by game-changing security.

Intel® Identity Protection Technology Protect your one-time-password (OTP) credentials and PKI certificates and add a layer of encrypted second factor authentication for online transactions.

Log into your system or make secure credit card purchases on your system using near-field communication (NFC)–enabled cards.

PCI Express* 3.0 Interface Offers up to 8 GT/s for fast access to peripheral devices and networking with up to 16 lanes.13 PCI Express ports can be configured as x1, x2, x4, x8 and x16 depending on motherboard designs.13

Green Technology Manufactured with lead-free and halogen-free component packages

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.
