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 specied 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 oers stunning memory read/write performance through ecient
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 signicantly 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.
