Dynamically increases the processor’s frequency, as needed, by taking advantage
of thermal and power headroom when operating below specied limits.
Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can
get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.
Intel® HD Graphics — Play HD videos with exceptional clarity, view and edit even
the smallest details of photos, and play today’s modern games.
Intel® Quick Sync Video — Delivers excellent video conferencing capability, fast
video conversion, online sharing, and fast video editing and authoring.
Intel® Clear Video HD—Visual quality and color delity enhancements for HD
playback and immersive web browsing.
Now supporting DDR4 oers stunning memory read/write performance through
ecient prefetching algorithms, lower latency, and higher memory bandwidth as
compared to previous generations.
Dynamically allocates shared cache to each processor core, based on workload,
reducing latency and improving performance.
Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. Oers
improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by
isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
A fast, secure AES engine for a variety of encryption apps, including whole disk
encryption, le storage encryption, conditional access of HD content, internet
security, and VoIP. Consumers benet from protected internet and email content,
plus fast, responsive disk encryption.

Intel® Power Optimizer increases periods of silicon sleep state across the platform
ingredients, including the CPU, chipset, and third-party system components, to
reduce power
On select products, CPU/graphics and memory can be run at frequencies above
the rated frequency of the part resulting in higher performance.
Security hardware-based random number generator that can be used for
generating high-quality keys for cryptographic (encryption and decryption)
protocols. Provides quality entropy that is highly sought after in the cryptography
world for added security.
TSX-NI is a set of instructions focused on enterprise-level multi-threaded
performance scaling, making parallel operations more ecient via improved
control of software threads and locks. This oers performance benets for
enterprise-level big data analytics/business intelligence and visualization apps,
which involve multi-user collaboration. Available on the Core™ I7 and Core™ i5
processors with Intel® vPro™ Technology and unlocked processors.
AVX 2.0 is an extension of AVX 1.0 with new optimized instructions to deliver
enhanced performance on oating point–intensive apps. AVX 2.0 adds 256bit
integer instructions and new instructions for FMA (Fused Multiply Add). FMA
delivers better performance on media and oating point computations, including
face recognition; professional imaging; high-performance computing; consumer
video and imaging; compression; and encryption.
