point. By the end of the decade, Intel envisions them
delivering a 10X performance gain.
Multi-Core processors are essential to maintaining
the performance gains we’ve grown accustomed to
from computers as we continually ask them to do
more for us. An Intel-sponsored Harris Interactive
survey* found that 9 out of 10 users reported
problems while trying to perform multiple
processor-intensive tasks. Problems include
computer freezes, time lags, function shut downs,
chopping off screens and audio distortion.
Intel multi-core platforms will enhance computing experience
by:
Improving performance of today’s existing multi-threaded
applications
Boosting overall system performance while remaining
within acceptable power and thermal envelopes
Increasing responsiveness of applications in multi-tasking
environments
Enabling new applications and humanlike intelligence in
desktop, laptop, and other small form factors that may
require high performance computing-like performance

Manageability:
Security:
Performance:
This first iteration of vPro is focused on improving the management of corporate desktops; its primary feature is
the latest version of Intel’s Advanced Management Technology (AMT) and Virtualization Technology . On the
surface, AMT appears to offer little beyond what has been available with previous management capabilities (for
example, Wired for Management and Desktop Management Interface). But AMT provides new value by bringing to
the desktop remote management techniques that previously have only existed on servers – including secure
remote access to asset and diagnostic tools, even when the machine is powered off, and the implementation of
virtual software appliances to enhance the security and reliability of corporate PCs.

– Gartner*#
“The initial analysis has shown promising results. Intel® AMT is allowing us to manage the PCs
remotely, even in Out-Of-Band (OOB) situations.”
– Shashi Kalathil, President, Broadband & Retail, Business, VSNL*
