Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal & power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it, & increased energy efficiency when you dont. Intel® v Pro Technology is a set of security & manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security: 1) Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, & malware 2) Identity & web site access point protection 3) Confidential personal & business data protection 4) Remote & local monitoring, remediation, & repair of PCs & workstations.
