3 Notebook and desktop PCs with Intel vpro technology Designed to address top IT challenges Notebook and desktop PCs with Intel vpro technology deliver down-the-wire security, enhanced maintenance, and remote management designed right into the chip. Along with improved remote management and security capabilities, the new notebooks based on Intel Centrino with vpro technology deliver significant improvements in security, performance, energy efficiency, and battery life. Notebooks with Intel vpro technology include: Key capabilities are now available for wireless notebooks on AC power regardless of sleep state: awake (S), on standby (S), hibernating (S3), suspend (S), or off (S5). These capabilities include remote power up, remote boot, console redirection, preboot access to BIOS settings, out-of-band alerting, and access to event logs, asset information, and other critical system information. Notebooks can communicate securely with the management console through a secure tunnel for updates, diagnostics, and repair, when operating on an open, wired LAN 6 outside the corporate firewall. Support for Microsoft NAP. 7 Wi-Fi performance gains, with data rates of up to 50 Mbps. Smaller package size (up to 58% less package area and 60% less volume) and 5W 8 small form factor, which enables remarkably thinner, lighter designs. Integrated energy-saving components optimized to prolong battery life. Challenge Systems unmanageable when powered down Unsecured communications with notebooks outside the corporate firewall Spiraling and costly deskside visits Unprotected assets Lack of configuration compliance Costly and time-consuming manual inventories Undiscoverable assets Solution with Intel vpro technology Remotely and securely monitor and manage PCs anytime: Access the PC even if PC power is off, the OS is unresponsive, management agents are missing, or hardware (such as a hard drive) has failed. Access critical system information (asset information, event logs, BIOS information, etc.) virtually anytime, even if PC power is off, to identify systems that need maintenance or service. Remotely and securely power up PCs for maintenance and service. More securely communicate with notebooks inside or outside the corporate firewall: Establish a secure tunnel (for updates, diagnostics, and repair), to notebooks on an open LAN even outside the corporate firewall. Significantly reduce deskside visits with: Remote remediation, even if management agents are missing or the OS is unresponsive. Remote problem resolution, even if the OS is unresponsive or hardware (such as a hard drive) has failed. Protect assets better: Remotely power up PCs anytime to help ensure more complete saturation for patching and other updates. Built-in, programmable system defense filters and agent-presence checking for automated, hardwarebased protection against viruses and attacks. Ensure compliance: Remote inventory and agent presence checking as a hardware-based, automated, policy-based service. Eliminate virtually all manual inventories: Accurate, remote asset inventories, even if PCs are powered off or management agents are missing. Discover virtually all PCs: Persistent device ID available anytime, even if PC power is off, the OS has been rebuilt, hardware or software configuration has changed, or the hard drive has been reimaged.

4 Intel Atom and Intel Centrino Atom processor technology For Nettops, Netbooks & Mobile Internet Devices The Intel Atom processor is Intel's smallest processor, built with the world's smallest transistors and manufactured on Intel's industry-leading 5nm Hi-k Metal Gate technology. The Intel Atom processor was purpose-built for simple, affordable, netbooks and nettops. Intel Atom processor-based netbooks and nettops offer both an easy-to-use mobile device with simple interfaces and targeted performance for a good online experience. They are rugged and compact in design, and offer the freedom and flexibility 9 of wireless connectivity. Powering the newest and most exciting MIDs like portable navigation units and media players Intel Centrino Atom processor technology unleashes the best Internet experiences on the go. With the silicon design of 5nm Intel Centrino Atom processor technology, you'll enjoy fast performance, smooth video streaming and playback, and brilliant graphics all in a powerful and pocketable Mobile Internet Device. Designed to be small while delivering the full power next-generation MIDs demand, Intel Centrino Atom processor technology enables more of everything you love on the go: Surf the full Internet on a device that fits in your pocket Keep in touch on instant messenger (IM) or VOIP Enjoy outstanding performance for high-definition (HD) video and audio Remain unwired with long battery life keeping you entertained and productive 0 between charges Connect where and when you want with built-in wireless around town and around 0 the world Experience broadband on-the-go for wireless access beyond hot spots with select WiMAX ready MIDs Get turn-by-turn directions and personalized information based on your location, like the nearest restaurants, homes for sale, and more with select GPS-ready MIDs Atom is a different architecture in the sense that it was designed to reduce power consumption and that the processor uses a totally new design. It isn t an adaptation of an earlier architecture. Concretely, Intel is now able to offer processors that consume very little power the high-end Atoms consume less power than the (generally very slow) ULV versions of the standard architectures. Tom's Hardware We had to overcome significant reliability issues, but virtually all our reliability problems went away when we went with the Intel optical cables. Ashrut Ambastha EKA Team Member, Computational Research Laboratories EKA: Building the th Fastest Supercomputer in 30 Days One of the world s fastest supercomputers uses Intel Connects Cables to achieve 3 0 Teraflop performance. Challenge Space: Fit maximum computing power into the allocated space. Sustained Performance: Design a robust HPC cluster that can deliver top-0 performance in excess of 00 Teraflops. Reliability: Build the system that can perform reliably and complete LINPAC runs. Solutions Computational Research Laboratories Space: Use 0m Intel Connects Cables to allow for near-circular architecture to save space as well as improve performance. Performance: Use Intel Connects Cables to deliver Double Data Rate (DDR) performance of 0 Gbps at up to 00m lengths. Reliability: Lower the bit error rate and eliminate dead links or links with marginal performance with Intel Connects Cables (0-5 BER). The Tata-CRL supercomputer is currently ranked fourth in the world on the Top500* list announced at the Supercomputing '07 Conference, and is named EKA after the Sanskrit term for One. Using an octagon architecture built from volume cluster rather than proprietary components, EKA has a peak performance of 80 Teraflops and sustained performance of nearly 0 Teraflops, making it the fastest system 3 in Asia.

12 ~ Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See for details. # Processors employ Intel Advanced Smart Cache (shared cache). Features MB Smart Cache per core pair. Intel vpro technology includes Intel Active Management technology (Intel AMT). Intel AMT requires the computer system to have an Intel AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. With regard to notebooks, Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off.
