Windows 10 also offers more built-in security features improving protection against viruses, phishing, and malware.

Solid State Drive

More reliable and significantly faster than traditional spinning-platter hardrives, solid state drives work more like a large flash drive giving you quick access to your data. With no moving parts generating heat, solid state drives use less power and keep your system cooler which helps reduce component failure. Light weight and durable, solid state drives are often found in portable devices since they are less prone to travel damage and accidents like being dropped.

DDR4 RAM

Double Data Rate, which is the DDR in DDR4, tells us something about the rate of data transfer in a given type of memory. The first number, as in DDR4, tells us the generation of the memory. DDR3 was the previous generation, DDR4 is the current generation. DDR4 offers faster data transfer rates than its predecessor. The second numeric value as inDDR4-1600- or DDR4-2666 is the speed. Memory type and speed must be matched to the requirements of your computer.

DDR4 has improved function compared with DDR3, in that it offers faster data transfer rates, It has more memory banks giving it increased capacity. It also requires less energy so it is more power efficient. The more capacity and the faster the speed, the better your memory is able to keep up with today's multi-core processors.

DDR form factors designate what they are used for. The DIMM form factor is used in desktop systems while the SO-DIMM form factor is used for laptops and all-in-one computers because of their slim profile.

Thunderbolt 4

Thunderbolt 4, like its predecessor, continues to be lightning fast, enabling a full 40GB/s for up to 2m of cable so you can quickly share HD files between devices or back up large volumes of data in no time. And, it can still deliver up to 100 watts of charging power for your smartphone or laptop. That’s a whole lot of power and versatility for a tiny port. The improved capabilities of Thunderbolt 4 port enable dual 4K , or a single 8K display output, and require 32GB/s PCIe bandwidth. According to Intel the, Thunderbolt 4 controller 8000 series is compatible with, "the hundreds of millions of Thunderbolt 3 PCs and accessories already available."

Intel Optane Memory Supported

When combined with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver, this Intel Optane, manages multiple storage tiers and makes sure your most frequently used data is stored on the fastest tier. This helps to speed up system responsiveness and performance. Intel Optane Memory is a non-volatile memory that requires specific hardware and software configuration.

Intel® Speed Shift

Responsiveness is super fast with Intel Speed Shift. Power efficiency and performance are improved as hardware controlled P-states enable the processor to quickly determine the best operating frequency and voltage to maximize performance.

Intel® Turbo Boost 2.0

Just as Intel has released its next generation Core i-series processors, it also has improved its Turbo Boost technology with version 2.0. Automatically activated to increase processor performance to its highest state, Turbo Boost 2.0 enables the processor frequency to dynamically increase, based on demand, until maximum frequency is reached depending on the number of active cores. In addition, Turbo Boost 2.0 uses several algorithms working together to power, current, and temperature to ensure energy efficiency. For short periods of time, Turbo Boost 2.0 can even enable the processor to run at a higher power level than its rated upper power limit.
