These Intel® Core™ processors are based
on the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ micro-
architecture on 32nm process technology
which offers enhanced media and graphics
capabilities and performance while reduc-
ing overall platform power requirements.
With support for both quad-core and
dual-core congurations, these processors
improve performance and efciency of
multi-threaded applications with the option
for unprecedented hardware support of
vital security and management functions.
When paired with the Intel® Q67 Express
chipset or Intel® B65 Express chipset,
these two-chip platforms provide ideal
solutions for embedded market segments
such as retail and transaction solutions,
digital signage, digital security surveillance,
gaming, medical, communications, and
industrial automation and control.
With the graphics engine integrated into
the processor, these solutions provide
enhanced media and 3D graphics perfor-
mance compared with previous Intel Core
processor-based platforms. The memory
controller hub is also integrated into the
processor, providing for lower memory
latency. Full integration of the CPU, media/
graphics capabilities and memory controller
into the processor reduces overall platform
footprint. While incorporating advanced
technology, these processors remain
software-compatible with previous IA-32
processors. Developers can also create
one board design and scale their product
line with a variety of processors using
the same socket.
The new Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions
(Intel® AVX) can dramatically increase signal
processing performance when compared
to previous generations. Intel® AES New
Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) on select
processors helps accelerate data encryp-
tion, decryption, and improve performance.

Intel® vPro™ Technology
Remote management, flexible virtualization, and enhanced security capabilities enable solutions
that are trusted and cost-effective.
Intel® Active Management Technology5
(when paired with Intel® Q67 Express chipset)
The latest remote management and maintenance capabilities enable IT professionals to query, fix, and
protect networked embedded devices, even when they’re powered off, not responding or have software
issues. Helps perform remote asset tracking and checks the presence of management agents virtually
anytime. Also, devices can be remotely turned on/off to reduce energy consumption during non-peak
operating times.
Intel® Virtualization Technology6Speeds the transfer of platform control and movement of data between the virtual machine monitor (VMM)
and other platform agents (including guest operating systems and I/O devices). By lowering the workload on
the VMM, this technology addresses many embedded system design challenges, like migrating legacy soft-
ware, increasing real-time performance, and making applications more secure.
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology7 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.
