INTEL HD GRAPHICS

Intel HD Graphics Technology provides a visually stunning experience optimized for HD video without the need to add an external and costly graphics card.

INTEL SMART CACHE

Intel Smart Cache Technology dynamically allocates the shared cache to each processor core based on workload. This efficient, multi-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from faster, more efficient cache subsystem resulting in significantly reduced latency for frequently used data and improved performance.

INTEL TURBO BOOST TECHNOLOGY

Intel Turbo Boost technology automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency if it's operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits, maximizing speed for demanding applications, dynamically accelerating performance to match your workload-more performance when you need it the most.

GREATER PERFORMANCE WITH HYPER-THREADING TECHNOLOGY

Intel Hyper-Threading Technology delivers thread-level parallelism on each processor resulting in more efficient use of processor resources—higher processing throughput—and improved performance on the multi-threaded software of today and tomorrow.

ENHANCED INTEL SPEEDSTEP TECHNOLOGY (EIST)

EIST allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency to decrease average power consumption and average heat production, which means of enabling very high performance while also meeting the power-conservation needs.
