PLATFORM BRIEF
Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® B75 Express,
Intel® Q77 Express, and Intel® C216 Chipsets
Intelligent Systems
3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3770, Intel® Core™
i5-3550S, and Intel® Core™ i3-3220 Processor-based
Platforms for Intelligent Systems
Ideal for Intelligent Systems—context-aware, securely managed embedded devices that connect seamlessly
to networks, clouds and each other.
Product Overview
Manufactured on industry-leading 22nm
process technology with 3D Tri-Gate transistors, these 3rd generation Intel® Core™
processors offer superior performance,
enhanced media and graphics capabilities
and exibility, making them ideal for a wide
range of intelligent systems including retail
transaction terminals, digital signage, digital
security and surveillance, gaming platforms,
industrial automation and medical equipment. As with the 2nd generation Intel®
Core™ processor family, full integration of
the CPU, media/graphics capabilities and
memory controller reduces overall platform
footprint and saves on-board real estate.
When paired with the Intel® B75 and Intel®
Q77 Express chipsets, these processors
offer fast connectivity with integrated
next-generation I/O technologies such as
USB 3.0. The platform includes Intel® Rapid
Start Technology
responsiveness and support for DDR3L
memory to improve power efciency.
Additionally, the Intel® Core™ i3-3220
processor can be paired with the Intel®
C216 chipset to enable Error Correcting
Code (ECC) capabilities.
Next-generation graphics engines
signicantly improve graphics and media
performance compared to 2nd generation
Intel Core processor-based platforms. This
platform supports three independent
displays, enabling one system to deliver
multiple displays without the need for
a discrete graphics card. Built-in visual
features, including Intel® Clear Video HD
1
for increased system
technology and Intel® Quick Sync Video,
mean smoother visual quality, improved
ability to decode and transcode simultaneous video streams, and spectacular HD
media playback. Additionally, the platform
supports next-generation graphics APIs,
such as Microsoft DirectX* 11.
Processors offer quad- and dual-core
capabilities with industry-leading performance and thermal design power (TDP)
options of 55W to 77W. While incorporating advanced technology, they remain
software-compatible with previous
IA-32 processors.
2
Intel® vPro™ technology,
processors are paired with the Intel Q77
Express chipset, delivers intelligent security, expanded management capabilities
and improved power management. The
technology supports operating systemabsent manageability and down-the-wire
security even when the system is powered
off, the operating system is unresponsive,
or software agents are disabled.
This 3rd generation Intel Core processor
family and Intel® 7 Series chipsets are
pin and package compatible with the 2nd
generation Intel Core processor family
and Intel® 6 Series chipsets, allowing
developers to mix and match processors
and chipsets to better suit their design
needs. Developers can create one board
design and scale a product line, using the
same sockets to help cut design costs and
accelerate time-to-market.

Intel® Trusted Execution Technology
• Protects system investment by enabling extended product availability for embedded customers.
• Along with a strong ecosystem of hardware and software vendors, including members of the Intel® Intelligent
Systems Alliance (intel.com/go/intelligentsystems-alliance), Intel helps to cost-effectively meet development
challenges and speed time-to-market.
• Delivers enhanced visual experiences, including excellent 3D performance, for a broad range of
intelligent systems.
• Provides support for dual LVDS, three independent displays and hybrid multi-monitor configurations.
• Integrated processor graphics help minimize power consumption while maximizing performance for
decoding, encoding, and transcoding workloads with hardware acceleration of video codecs.
• Improved ability to decode and transcode simultaneous video streams for intelligent systems that include
medical imaging and video surveillance functions.
• Provides visual quality and color fidelity enhancements for spectacular HD media playback for applications such as
digital signs and gaming platforms.
• Helps protect media, data and assets from loss.
10
• Intel AES-NI accelerates data encryption/decryption and improves performance.
• Helps detect and prevent malware.
• Faster performance on digital signal and image processing workloads for compute-intensive applications such as
radar detection, hurricane command center, ruggedized navigation systems and remote medical image processing.
• Boosts performance for specific workloads by increasing processor frequency.
4
• Enables simultaneous multi-threading within each processor core, up to two threads per core; reduces
computational latency, making optimal use of every clock cycle.
• Detects multiple-bit memory errors; locates and corrects single-bit errors to keep the system up and running.
• Large on-die shared Last-Level Cache reduces latency to data, improving performance and power efficiency.
• Automated energy efficiency to reduce power consumption.
• Adjusts system power consumption based on real-time processor loads.
• Improves OS boot time and wakes up from deep sleep state more quickly than previous generations for better
system responsiveness.
5
• Provides remote management and maintenance capabilities which enable vendors to roll back firmware image;
Remote host-based provisioning eases provisioning of end device.
• Speeds transfer of platform control and movement of data between the virtual machine monitor (VMM) and other
platform agents (including guest OSs and I/O devices). By lowering the workload on the VMM, this technology
addresses many embedded system design challenges, like migrating legacy software, increasing real-time
performance, and making applications more secure.
7
• 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.
