Intel Unveils Core vPro Processor Family for Business PCs

The modern businesses are known by the PCs they keep. A company has to provide proper computing environment to its employees to get highest possible productivity and savings in cost. Understanding this need, Intel reportedly introduced 2010 Intel (News - Alert) Core vPro processor family to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes for PCs with greater, more flexible performance, theft prevention and cost savings.

 

Intel said that its Intel Core processor family can intelligently adapt to performance demands. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology can run two threads simultaneously, letting clients perform more tasks.

 

Intel announced that the 2010 Intel Core i5 vPro processor can run business productivity applications up to 80 percent faster, multiple applications twice as fast, and encrypted material three times quicker. Customers will also get other features such as integrated “keyboard-video-mouse,” Remote Encryption Management, new data and asset theft deterrents with Intel Core vPro technology.

 

“Businesses, particularly those that haven’t purchased PCs for several years, face a computing environment that no longer handles the applications many workers and IT are adopting,” Rick Echevarria, vice president, Intel Architecture Group, and general manager, Business Client Platform Division, said. “We also are excited about how Intel vPro Technology gives IT the flexibility to look at client virtualization, consumerization and rich cloud applications.”

 

The platform based on the 2010 Intel Core vPro processor family includes the new Intel Q57 Express chipset, and new Intel 82577LM Gigabit Network Connection for notebooks and Intel 82578DM Network Connection for desktop PCs. Already, manufacturing of PCs based on the 2010 Intel Core vPro processor family has been started by companies such as Acer, ASUS, Dell (News - Alert), HP, Lenovo and Toshiba.

 

Recently, the company announced that it produced sales and profits that have topped what analysts were expecting. A CNBC report pointed to better pricing and demand for server chips as driving these results. The company’s shares added to Thursday’s gains in extended trading. Intel reported a gross profit margin in the fourth quarter of a record 65 percent.
