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® Quick Sync Video

Built into every 2nd generation Intel Core™ processor, Quick Sync Video enables users to quickly create, edit, synchronize, and share video files from home or make them available online without the need for extra hardware. In addition, media conversion between devices takes just minutes thanks to hardware acceleration streamlining this process at incredible speed. That includes creating DVDs, Blu-ray™ discs, or editing and converting HD videos for portable media devices or uploading to your favorite social media sites.

DirectX 12

This is the commanding performance you've been looking for with more impressive frame rates, improved latency reduction, and the thrill of multi-core functionality, you'll discover gaming at a level you never imagined. DirectX 12 turns your graphics card into a multi-tasking workhorse thanks to asynchronous shaders and multi-thread communication between your processor and graphics card. Now that you've got it, what's your game plan?

Intel Clear Video HD Technology

Enjoy better than ever visual quality and color fidelity enhancements and exceptionally vivid HD and Blu-ray™ playback. Built into every 2nd generation Intel Core™ processor, Clear Video Technology takes color accuracy to a whole new level bringing every image to life whether you're surfing the Net, catching an HD movie, or enjoying your own videos. By using a combination of hardware and software technologies, Intel has enabled enhanced high-quality, 108p high-def image rendering in a variety of media including Blu-ray and streaming web content.

Intel® Turbo Boost Max 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.

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.

Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O

This VT-d technology takes VT-x capability a step further by providing support for I/O device virtualization helping to improve device performance. IT managers can benefit from improved system security and reliability, reduced downtime, and better use of data center resources.

Extended Page Tables

Boosting memory for demanding virtualizaiton applications, this hardware optimization, also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), helps reduce power consumption and its associated costs while also aiding battery life.

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® 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 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® Boot Guard

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

Execute Disable Bit

Reduces your system's exposure to viruses and mal-ware attacks, and the chances of self-executing and propagating software from taking down your system or network. That can save you costly repairs, lost productivity, and revenue.

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.
