Intel Trusted Execution TechnologyN/AIntel Trusted Execution Technology for safer computing is a versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel processors and chipsets that enhance the digital office platform with security capabilities such as measured launch and protected execution. It enables an environment where applications can run within their own space protected from all other software on the system.N/AN/AIntel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)N/AIntel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) continues from the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization adding new support for I/O-device virtualization.
Intel VT-d can help end users improve security and reliability of the systems and also improve performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.N/AN/AIntel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)N/AIntel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple virtual platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.N/AN/AIntel AES New InstructionsN/AIntel AES New Instructions (Intel AES-NI) are a set of instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption.
AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of cryptographic applications for example: applications that perform bulk encryption/decryption authentication random number generation and authenticated encryption.N/AN/ATPM VersionN/ATPM (Trusted Platform Module) is a component that provides hardware level security upon system boot-up via stored security keys passwords encryption and hash functions.N/AN/AIntel ME Firmware VersionN/AIntel Management Engine Firmware (Intel ME FW) uses built-in platform capabilities and management and security applications to remotely manage networked computing assets out-of-band.N/AN/AMax Turbo FrequencyN/AMax Turbo Frequency is the maximum single-core frequency at which the processor is capable of operating using Intel Turbo Boost Technology and if present Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 and Intel Thermal Velocity Boost.
Frequency is typically measured in gigahertz (GHz) or billion cycles per second.N/AN/AIntel vPro Platform EligibilityN/AThe Intel vPro platform is a set of hardware and technologies used to build business computing endpoints with premium performance built-in security modern manageability and platform stability.N/AN/AN/AIntel HD Audio TechnologyN/AIntel High Definition Audio (Intel HD Audio) is capable of playing back more channels at higher quality than previous integrated audio formats.
In addition Intel HD Audio has the technology needed to support the latest and greatest audio content.N/AN/AIntegrated GraphicsN/AIntegrated graphics allow for incredible visual quality faster graphic performance and flexible display options without the need for a separate graphics card.N/AN/AIntel Optane Memory SupportedN/AIntel Optane memory is a revolutionary new class of non-volatile memory that sits in between system memory and storage to accelerate system performance and responsiveness.
When combined with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver it seamlessly manages multiple tiers of storage while presenting one virtual drive to the OS ensuring that data frequently used resides on the fastest tier of storage. Intel Optane memory requires specific hardware and software configuration.N/AN/ATPMN/ATrusted Platform Module (TPM) is a component on the desktop board that is specifically designed to enhance platform security above-and-beyond the capabilities of today's software by providing a protected space for key operations and other security critical tasks.
Using both hardware and software the TPM protects encryption and signature keys at their most vulnerable stages - operations when the keys are being used unencrypted in plain-text form.
