Play 4K UHD 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. |
|
Processor Core/Memory/ Graphics Overclocking2 |
When unlocked processors are paired with select chipset SKUs, processor core, graphics, and memory can be set to run at frequencies above the specification frequency of the processor resulting in higher performance. |
|
PCI Express* 3.0 Interface |
Offers up to 8 GT/s for fast access to peripheral devices with up to 16 lanes.3 The lanes can be configured as 1x16, 2x8, or 1x8 and 2x4 depending on motherboard designs. |
|
Intel® Optane™ Memory Support |
Provides performance improvements as well as fast app response times for system acceleration and responsiveness when paired with an Intel Optane memory module. |
|
Intel® Power Optimizer and Processor C-States |
Intel® Power Optimizer increases periods of silicon sleep state across the platform ingredients, including the processor, chipset, and third-party system components, to reduce power. Processor C-states (C8-C10) provide low idle power. |
|
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) |
Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. Offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. |
|
VMCS Shadowing |
VMCS shadowing allows a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) running in a guest (nested virtualization) to access a shadow VMCS memory area using the normal VMRead/VMWrite instructions. This technology reduces overhead for a more natural and responsive user experience. It also allows users to take control of their personal and professional data and apps while being protected by game-changing security. |
|
