New Intel vPro Platform Maximizes IT and Worker Productivity in a Mobile-Centric World

New 8th Gen Intel Core vPro Processors Deliver Better Performance, Long Battery Life, Blazing Fast Wi-Fi 6 and Built-In Security Features with Intel Hardware Shield

The emerging workplace is more mobile than ever and rapidly evolving as office walls disintegrate. In fact, 70% of people globally work remotely at least once a week. From the road warrior to the heavy data-crunching office worker, the PC, as the primary tool for getting work done, has to adapt to their diverse needs.

Information technology (IT) managers face critical decisions to ensure their organizations’ IT health and employee satisfaction. From data security to deploying the latest Windows 10 version, IT managers face internal and external challenges to keep their technology fleet up to date. Add to that their need to manage a heterogeneous device environment and there are many issues to potentially hinder end-user productivity.

To help combat these challenges, Intel is driving PC platforms built for business. These help deliver the connectivity, built-in security features, and performance — even when unplugged — that mobile workers require.

Introducing 8th Gen Intel Core vPro processors

Announcing new 8th Gen Intel Core vPro mobile processors, based on Intel’s Whiskey Lake architecture.

Intel is helping to usher in a new era of WLAN connectivity for workers on the go. Intel vPro clients configured with Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) solutions will be some of the first available in the marketplace to enable faster Wi-Fi 6†connections. This allows people to not only work from anywhere, but enjoy a premium experience – with best-in-class performance for the most demanding mobile applications like video conferencing, real-time collaboration and content-sharing.

With this launch, Intel brings its new Intel Hardware Shield technology, which delivers out-of-the-box protection to help defend against firmware attacks. Intel Hardware Shield helps ensure your OS runs on legitimate hardware and provides hardware to software security visibility, enabling the OS to enforce a more complete security policy. Importantly, no additional IT infrastructure is required.

Now with the availability of 8th Gen Intel Core vPro mobile devices for businesses, there is no trade-off of performance even when unplugged.†Compared to a 3-year-old PC, the latest 8th Gen Intel Core vPro i7-8665U processor delivers up to 65% faster overall performance†and up to 11 hours†of battery life. These advancements allow employees to leave the charger behind and stay productive throughout their workday.

New†Intel Optane memory H10†with solid-state storage enables two times faster†launch of documents, spreadsheets and presentations while transferring large files – and that’s compared to the same system with a traditional SSD alone. This minimizes the frustration of waiting for apps to load while multitasking. Intel Optane memory H10 delivers the responsiveness to work efficiently and spend less time waiting.

We are excited to be working with OEMs like Dell, HP, Lenovo, Panasonic, and other industry leaders to bring new sleek and beautiful corporate designs to market. PCs built on the 8th Gen Intel Core vPro mobile processors will be rolling out over the next several months.
