2nd generation Intel® Core™
processor family
What are the advantages of the 2011, 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family?
Outperform, Outlast, and Out DO. The DO Inside takes your performance to extreme peaks.
The all new 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family is smart, secure, energy-efficient and automatically delivers extra performance during busy times and reduce power consumption when use is low.
The combination of optimized security and faster processing gives you the ultimate performance for the toughest tasks.
Intel® Hyper-Threading
Delivers two processing threads per physical core for massive computational throughput.1 This allows each core of your processor to 'multi-task' on two processes at the same time – which means faster response time when multitasking.
Intel®Turbo Boost™ Technology^
Intelligently allocates extra processing power to the applications that need it most, accelerating the processor clock speed by up to 20% to match the workload.2 This feature 'turbo boosts' performance to match your workload when demand is high and reduces power consumption when it's low.
Intel®Turbo Boost technology is available on the Intel®Core™ i7 and Intel®Core™ i5 processors only. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Turbo Boost Technology capability.
Intel® Core™ vPro™ Processor Family Hardware Security and Manageability^
ThinkPad® notebooks powered by an all new 2011 Intel® Core™ vPro™ processor family adapt to the needs of your business with smart security, cost-saving manageability and intelligent mobile performance. Plus, with Intel® Anti-Theft Technology3 enabled it means notebooks can even disable themselves if they're lost or stolen.
A combination of optimised security, faster processing and energy-efficiency means you'll be more productive than ever before.
^Intel® Core i5 and i7 processors
1 Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)requires a computer system with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on hardware and software used. For more information, including details on which processors support Intel HT Technology, see http://www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/hyper-threading/index.htm?iid=tech_product+ht
2 Intel® Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost
3 Intel® Anti-Theft Technology – PC Protection (Intel® AT-p). No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT-p) requires the computer system to have an internal Intel® AT-enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware release, software and an Intel® AT-capable Service Provider/ISV application and service subscription. The detection (triggers), response (actions) and recovery mechanisms only work after the Intel® Anti-Theft Technology functionality has been activated and configured. Certain functionality may not be offered by some ISVs or service providers and may not be available in all countries. Intel® assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof.
