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.

LPDDR4 RAM

Low Power Double Data Rate, LPDDR4 is the mobile memory version of DDR4. Instead of 64-bit channels per dim, LPDDR4 has two 16-bit channels, or 32 bits per dim. Since it's used in mobile devices, the benefit of LPDDR4 is more power efficiency.

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.

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® 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.

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 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, 1080p high-def image rendering in a variety of media including Blu-ray and streaming web content.

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.

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.
