4TH GENERATION INTEL® CORE™ PROCESSORS IN THE LGA1150 SOCKET FEATURES
FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE 4TH GENERATION INTEL® CORE™ PROCESSOR
FEATURE BENEFIT
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
4
Dynamically increases the processor’s frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and
power headroom when operating below specied limits.
2.0 Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
4
Delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work
done in parallel, completing tasks sooner.
Built-in visuals Intel HD graphics – Enhanced 3-D
1
performance for immersive mainstream and casual gaming.
Can support up to three Ultra HD (4K) displays and collage display.
Intel Wireless Display
8
– Wirelessly stream HD/3-D video and games to your TV or projector
for presentations and entertainment.
Intel Quick Sync Video – Delivers fast conversion of video for portable media players, online
sharing, and video editing and authoring.
Intel Clear Video HD Technology – Visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for HD
playback and immersive Web browsing.
Intel InTru™ 3D
1
– Stereoscopic 3-D Blu-ray playback in full 1,080p resolution over HDMI* 1.4
and premium audio.
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions – A set of new instructions to improve software performance
11
for floating point-intensive applications such as audio processing, audio codecs, and image and
video editing applications.
Integrated memory controller An integrated memory controller oers stunning memory read/write performance through ecient
prefetching algorithms, lower latency, and higher memory bandwidth.
Intel Smart Cache The shared cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload.
This signicantly reduces latency,
11
improving performance.
Intel Virtualization Technology
4
Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms
by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions
(AES-NI)
New AES instructions add hardware acceleration to AES algorithms and speed up the execution
of AES applications.
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.
