Intel Releases 6th Generation Intel Core vPro Processors
Intel today announced the availability of its 6th Generation Intel Core vPro processor family, which addresses the security and productivity demands of large businesses with authentication security, performance and collaboration for 2 in 1s, Ultrabooks, All-in-Ones and desktops. Intel announced 6th generation Intel Core vPro and Intel Core M vPro processors. Relative to the average PC that is being replaced, which is about 5 years old, the new 6th generation PC will deliver up to 2.5X performance, 3X battery life, 4X faster wake up time and 30X graphics performance, according to Intel.
With devices based on the new Core vPro processor family, you gain identity protection with a new kind of multifactor authentication Intel Authenticate. Intel Authenticate embeds multifactor authentication into hardware in the platform architecture. By doing so, the most common software based attacks that steal user credentials through viruses or malware are rendered ineffective.
This solution for managed IT environments is designed to protect workforce credentials on the PC by verifying identities using a combination of up to three hardened factors at the same time and include: Something you know, such as a personal identification number (PIN), something you have, such as a PC or a mobile phone, and something you are, such as a fingerprint.
Intel delivers a secure PIN, a Bluetooth proximity factor with your Android or iPhone, a logical location factor with vPro systems and fingerprint biometrics.
In addition, with the 6th generation Core and Core vPro platforms, Intal has integrated Pro WiDi capability built in to enable wireless display. The company has also more than double the number of designs with integrated WiGig for wireless docking. These PCs now support hoteling with shared, open WiGig docks that are available from all the major OEMs.
Intal also announced enhancements to its conference room PC collaboration solution, Intel Unite. Originally launched back in June, the new Intel Unite got new capabilities including auto-disconnect, OSX support and integrating Lync/Skype through a new Unite plug-in. Intel is also teaming up with companies like Logitech to help define the future of the conference room.
Acer, Asus, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, Panasonic and Toshiba are all releasing enterprise-ready devices featuring the new Intel processors.
