Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® Hyper-Threading Technol-

ogy, and Intel® Virtualization Technology require a computer

system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/

or operating system, device drivers, and applications designed

for these features. Performance will vary depending on your

configuration. Contact your vendor for more information.

Available on the 3rd gen Intel® Core™ processor family. Includes

Intel® HD Graphics, Intel® Quick Sync Video, Intel® Clear Video HD

Technology, Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology, and Intel® Advanced

Vector Extensions. Also optionally includes Intel® Wireless

Display, if it is enabled on a system. Whether you will receive the

benefits of built-in visuals depends upon the particular design

of the PC you choose. Consult your PC manufacturer to see if

built-in visuals are enabled on your system. Learn more about

built-in visuals at www.intel.com/technology/visualtechnology/

Viewing stereo 3-D content requires 3-D glasses and a 3-D ca-

pable display. Physical risk factors may be present when viewing

3-D material.

Requires Intel® Insider™, a hardware-based content protection

mechanism, requires an Intel® Core™ processor-based PC with

built-in visuals. Consult your PC manufacturer. Online content

Warning: Altering clock frequency and/or voltage may (i) reduce

system stability and useful life of the system and processor; (ii)

cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii)

cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional

heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity. Intel

has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the

processor beyond its specifications.

ENERGY STAR* denotes a system level energy specification,

defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that relies

upon all of the system’s components, including processor, chipset,

power supply, HDD, graphics controller, and memory to meet the

specification. For more information, visit www.energystar.gov

Intel® Core™ i7 and Intel® Core™ i5 processors designated by “K” in

the processor number are unlocked for performance tuning and

support Intel® HD Graphics 4000.

Intel® Express Chipset H61-based boards must be reconfigured by

the motherboard manufacturer with Manageability Engine-ME8

firmware, BIOS, and drivers to enable support for the Intel® 3rd

generation processor family. Contact your motherboard manufac-

turer for more information.

The acoustic benefits of the four pin header are reliant on a prop-

erly designed motherboard. Contact your board manufacturer for

compatibility.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE 3RD GENERATION INTEL® CORE™ PROCESSOR FAmILY

feature

beNefit

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

2.0

Dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology

Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.

Integrated Memory Controller

An integrated memory controller offers stunning memory read/write performance through efficient prefetching algorithms, lower latency, and higher memory bandwidth.

Built-In Visuals

Intel® Quick Sync Video—Delivers fast conversion of video for portable media players, online sharing, and video editing and authoring.
Intel® Clear Video HD—Visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for HD playback for a sharper, smoother, and richer picture.
Intel® InTru™ 3D

—Stereoscopic 3-D Blu-ray* playback in full 1080p resolution over HDmI* 1.4 and premium audio.

Intel® HD Graphics—Enhanced 3-D performance for immersive mainstream and casual gaming.
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions—A set of new instructions to improve software performance for floating point-intensive applications such as audio processing,
audio codecs, and image and video editing applications.

Intel® Smart Cache

The shared cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload. This significantly reduces latency, improving performance.

AES New Instructions (AES-NI)

New AES instructions add hardware acceleration to AES algorithms and speeds up the execution of AES applications.

Intel® Virtualization Technology

Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. Offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating
computing activities into separate partitions.

Thermal Solution for Boxed Processors

Includes a four-pin connector for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance.

The 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor can

deliver amazing performance and stunning visuals

with smart features that adapt to your needs.
