Product Overview
Selecting the right processor is key when purchasing or upgrading your business PCs. The processor must keep pace with new trends in e-commerce, complex applications, and security that are applicable to your business. Meet your business needs with a processor from the 2nd gen Intel® Core™ processor family, which offers improved adaptive performance and built-in visual capabilities to bring more intelligent performance to your business PC.

Featured Technologies

Get more responsive multitasking with select processors in the 2nd gen Intel Core processor family, which feature Intel® Turbo Boost Technology1 2.0 and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology1, enabling required security applications and protocols to run efficiently in the background without compromising your productivity.

Information security is vital to business. Securing information and data requires complex encryption software, which slows PC performance. With Advanced Encryption Solution New Instructions (AES-NI) integrated into the processor, the encryption and decryption operation is accelerated, saving you time.

With the increase of video conferencing and social media, business communication has become more visually sophisticated. Intel® HD Graphics 2000, integrated into the 2nd gen Intel Core processors, allows PC hardware to stay in step with these new visual media needs. The need for a discrete graphics card is eliminated, reducing power consumption and system cost.

2nd gen Intel Core processors with Intel® vPro™ technology2 can help reduce costs and increase efficiency by taking advantage of intelligent performance and unique hardware- assisted security and manageability features. Remote, automated manageability features make PC maintenance easier and keep costs low. The system can be remotely configured or diagnosed, and an infected PC can be isolated or repaired. An Intel vPro technology-based system minimizes disruptions to daily business operations.

These 2nd gen Intel Core processors are also power efficient, enabling more energyefficient platforms which can meet ENERGY STAR*3 and other global environmental requirements. Intel’s technologies and innovations can increase the longevity of the computer, protecting your investment and supporting long-term business growth.
