Windows 10 Pro

Windows 10 Pro is a sophisticated business operating system featuring an expanded Start menu, enhanced encryption technology with BitLocker for data protection and security management. Virtual machine capability enables you to run more than one operating system on a single PC, and remote log-in gives you access to your work while at home or on the road.

Like Windows 10, Windows 10 Pro combines the best elements of the Windows you already know, like the Start menu, with new features allowing space to pin your favorite apps and easy navigation so you'll feel right at home. Getting set up is faster and easier so you can get right to work or enjoy exploring the Windows App Store games or a new version of Office. InstantGo quickly boots up or resumes Windows while enhancements help balance memory and processor resources for maximum efficiency and Battery Saver automatically conserves power. 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.

Smart Cache

With Intel Smart Cache you benefit from increased data access because the cache is shared between the cores from a single access point and optimized by workload demand. That means your system is making maximum use of its resources, enhancing multi-threading, and reducing storage redundancy.

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® Turbo Boost Technology 3.0

Turbo Boost 3.0 helps optimize performance to its highest state by targeting the best performing processor cores and increasing frequency based on demand. In addition, Turbo Boost 3.0 uses several algorithms working together to ensure power and temperature stability and energy efficiency.

NVIDIA GeForce® RTX 3080
GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs deliver the ultimate performance for gamers and creators. They’re powered by Ampere—NVIDIA’s 2nd gen RTX architecture—with new RT Cores, Tensor Cores, and streaming multiprocessors for the most realistic ray-traced graphics and cutting-edge AI features.

The RTX 3080 is your competitive edge whatever the challenge, work or play. Specs include 10 GB GDDR6X memory, and 1.71GHz boost clock. The RTX 3080 also features NVIDIA Ansel so you can capture 360 degree HD in-game highlights and stream them live or share them as videos or still images. NVIDIA Reflex gives you the most responsiveness and the lowest latency. And it's packed with other great features like, DirectX 12 Ultimate, NVIDIA G-Sync with refresh rates up to 360Hz, game-ready drivers, and more.

Intel Hyper-Threading Technology

Intel's hyper-threading technology means you'll get peak performance for your multithreaded applications thanks to higher processing throughput. To put it simply, each core of the processor is capable of working on multiple tasks at the same time.

Intel Virtualization Technology

Consolidates multiple environments into a single server or PC. It provides greater user flexibility that can help reduce costs, improve security, and increase resiliency regarding contingency planning.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology

Now get even more performance enhancing, energy conserving benefits from Intel. With SpeedStep technology, your processor simultaneously switches voltage and frequency to high or low levels depending on processor load. Enhanced SpeedStep technology performs voltage and frequency changes separately so the system performs better with reduced latency due to system unavailability.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies

This feature is designed to protect the processor in the event of unusual circumstances such as cooling fan failure which can cause damage if internal chassis temperatures become higher than normal. It works by reducing the processor's power consumption if the programmed thermal temperature is exceeded.

Intel IPT Identity Protection Technology

Designed to provide another layer of online security, Intel IPT works by partnering with websites to help keep your personal information safe when you log in to your favorite IPT-enabled sites like shopping, bill paying, banking, etc. Intel IPT verifies your log-in, confirms you're using a trusted device, and protects your account from being accessed without your recognized device.

The processor contains a thermal diode which measures the actual CPU temperature and relays its temperature and thermal requirements to the motherboard. The motherboard uses those requirements to control the processor fan and ensure it does not spin faster than necessary - even under worst case power use.

Intel AES-NI

Advance Encryption Standard New Instructions AES-NI, is an encryption standard used by the U.S. government since 2001 and now is commonly used in software to protect network traffic, personal data, and corporate IT infrastructure. Intel processors use AES in addition to a set of six new instructions to enable hardware to do some of the work of AES, thereby accelerating its execution by three to 10 times compared with relying solely on software.

Intel Secure Key

Intel Secure Key is a feature designed to keep your data and personal information safe by strengthening encryption capability via a digital random number generator.

Intel® Boot Guard

OS Protection from malware, viruses, various types of malicious software attacks.

Intel Software Guard Extensions

Supported with Intel ME, this set of CPU instructions provides applications the ability to create a secure area in which to protect data from access by other rogue software.

10/100/1000 Gigabit Network

Just when you thought life couldn't go any faster, technology changed the rules. Using more bandwidth and full-duplex capacity, the 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet will have you connecting with the Internet or your other devices faster than you can say gigabit.

Bluetooth® 5.1

Along with improvements to reliability and faster connections, Bluetooth 5.1 can now assess the direction your device signal is coming from. Using that information in addition to the proximity or distance of your signal, your device can be tracked to its precise location; super handy if your device gets lost. Of course, Bluetooth 5.1 continues to offer secure transmission for computers, mobile devices, and a host of other wireless technologies such as digital assistants, headsets, home audio equipment, and IoT devices.
