Users of systems running on the new chips will see over 30% faster performance, up to 80% better graphics, and up to 4x AI performance compared to four-year-old systems, the average PC refresh period for businesses, according to Intel.
While the new systems can run code faster, Intel is also pushing for them to be more intelligent about the code they do run. Enhancements to vPro include the Intel vPro Certification Program that Intel said results in as much as 59% reduced CPU utilization, a 74% reduction in background activity, and power efficiency improved by 56%.
AI is also playing a bigger role in the form of vPro Intelligence with Device IQ, which offers AI-driven analytics to detect, diagnose, and resolve issues. There’s also vPro Fleet Services to simplify out-of-band manageability via a fully managed SaaS-based activation and integration with Microsoft Intune, and security enhancements including Intel Total Storage Encryption for Microsoft BitLocker and AI-based threat detection using Intel’s chip-based Threat Detection technology (DTECT).
