Key embedded Support
Extended life cycle product support
• Protects system investment by enabling extended product availability for embedded customers.
Ecosystem support
• Along with a strong ecosystem of hardware and software vendors, including members of the Intel® Intelligent
Systems Alliance (
intel.com/go/intelligentsystems-alliance
), Intel helps to cost-effectively meet development
challenges and speed time-to-market.
built-in Visuals
Intel® HD Graphics 4000/
Intel® HD Graphics 2500
• Delivers enhanced visual experiences, including excellent 3D performance, for a broad range of
intelligent systems.
• Provides support for dual LVDS, three independent displays and hybrid multi-monitor configurations.
• Integrated processor graphics help minimize power consumption while maximizing performance for
decoding, encoding, and transcoding workloads with hardware acceleration of video codecs.
Intel® Quick Sync Video 2.0
• Improved ability to decode and transcode simultaneous video streams for intelligent systems that include
medical imaging and video surveillance functions.
Intel® Clear Video HD Technology
• Provides visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for spectacular HD media playback for applications such as
digital signs and gaming platforms.
Security
Intel® AES New Instructions
(Intel® AES-NI)
9
and Intel® Secure Key
10
• Helps protect media, data and assets from loss.
• Intel AES-NI accelerates data encryption/decryption and improves performance.
Intel® OS Guard
• Helps detect and prevent malware.
Performance
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions
• Faster performance on digital signal and image processing workloads for compute-intensive applications such as
radar detection, hurricane command center, ruggedized navigation systems and remote medical image processing.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
3
2.0
• Boosts performance for specific workloads by increasing processor frequency.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
4
• Enables simultaneous multi-threading within each processor core, up to two threads per core; reduces
computational latency, making optimal use of every clock cycle.
Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory
(Intel® Core™ i3-3220 processor
with Intel® C216 chipset)
• Detects multiple-bit memory errors; locates and corrects single-bit errors to keep the system up and running.
Intel® Smart Cache Technology
• Large on-die shared Last-Level Cache reduces latency to data, improving performance and power efficiency.
Power efficiency
Intel® Intelligent Power Technology
• Automated energy efficiency to reduce power consumption.
Automated low-power states
• Adjusts system power consumption based on real-time processor loads.
Intel® Rapid Start Technology
1
• Improves OS boot time and wakes up from deep sleep state more quickly than previous generations for better
system responsiveness.
intel® vPro™ technology
2
(platforms paired with Intel® Q77 Express chipset)
Intel® Active Management Technology
5
• Provides remote management and maintenance capabilities which enable vendors to roll back firmware image;
Remote host-based provisioning eases provisioning of end device.
Intel® Virtualization Technology
6
• Speeds transfer of platform control and movement of data between the virtual machine monitor (VMM) and other
platform agents (including guest OSs and I/O devices). By lowering the workload on the VMM, this technology
addresses many embedded system design challenges, like migrating legacy software, increasing real-time
performance, and making applications more secure.
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology
7
• Protects embedded devices and virtual environments against rootkit and other system-level attacks. Using an
industry-standard TPM 1.2 to store keys and other protected data, this portion of Intel® vPro™ technology boots
the BIOS, operating system, and software into a “trusted” execution state, verifying the integrity of the virtual
machine and protecting the platform from unauthorized access.
