EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE.
Intel continues to drive power efficiency improvements at the processor and platform level to increase
battery life and enable even smaller and thinner4devices. Dedicated hardware acceleration reduces
power consumption dramatically. With the Y-series processor family, 2 in 1s are reimagined, enabling
thin and fanless designs for ultra-mobility. On U-series processors, enhanced productivity and creativity
are possible in increasingly slim form factors without sacrificing battery life – in fact, new 7thGen Intel
Core U-series processors now provide up to 10 hours5of battery life for the whole workday. Modern
Standby ensures laptops resume with data ready in a flash.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
This generation of Intel’s best-performing processors, from 4.5 – 91W, provides a range of form factor
options from the thinnest detachables to enthusiast class performance desktops and more.
I/O SUPPORT.
A range of I/O solutions are available with the 7thGen Intel Core processor family creating multiple ways
to interact with new devices:
Thunderbolt™ 3. Doubling the bandwidth of the previous generation, Thunderbolt 3 transfers data
8x faster than USB 3.0.6Plus, for the first time, you can run data, video and power over a single
cable. Notebooks with the versatile Thunderbolt 3 technology, the USB-C that does it all, provide
an incredible I/O experience. A single cable conveniently supports up to 40 Gbps transfer speeds,
two 4K 60 Hz displays, system charging up to 100W, external graphics, and Thunderbolt
networking to bolster productivity.
Gen 3 PCIe Support. 7
th
Gen Intel Core processors offer Gen 3 PCIe support for higher data
transfer rates of 8 GT/s versus 5 GT/s with PCIe Gen 2. The latest Intel® Rapid Storage Technology
supports NVMe PCIe x4 solid state drives and is capable of utilizing Gen 3 PCIe Speeds. DT systems
will offer 15 percent more I/O capability3over the previous generation.
SECURITY.
7th Gen Intel Core vPro processors include a variety of hardened security1features built into the silicon.
Intel® Authenticate Technology provides a robust multifactor solution that is protected in hardware,
reducing users’ exposure to identity theft attacks such as phishing and screen scraping. With fingerprint,
Bluetooth proximity, protected PIN, location, and facial recognition, there are plenty of options for policy
customization on PCs.
For consumers, adding biometrics plus hardware-based security makes it both easier and safer to buy
online. Intel is working with partners to enable secure fingerprint touch to pay and Secure Guest
Checkout, which provides hardware-level data protection3to better verify that you are you.
Intel is also working with Password Manager providers to provide simpler and more secure web login to
online sites and services through password manager applications that take advantage of Intel security
hardware. These password managers can take advantage of Intel® Software Guard Extensions to manage
passwords with access through a protected master password that is secured in hardware.
Use of two-factor authentication defeats a vast number of attacks targeting online user passwords. Intel®
Online Connect provides consumers with hassle-free, built-in, two-factor authentication for Dropbox*
and other industry-leading online services.
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance
tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any
change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully
evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products. For more complete
