On the first day of CES in 2021, Intel added the 11th Gen Tiger Lake Core chip to its vPro family as the next step in its vPro program for business PCs. Intel will also use the Evo brand in its vPro product line, adding CET and TDT technologies to the Intel hardware shield.
More than 60 notebooks will be released this year under the vPro and Evo brands, but Intel has not revealed the exact timing of the business Evo notebooks. The Evo brand was initially designed for consumer use and features fast response times, long battery life, and instant start-up.
There are a total of 4 chips added to the vPro processor family, all of which are 4 cores and 8 threads. Newly added Core i5-1140G7 (1.1 GHz base, 4.2 GHz turbo), Core i5-1145G7 (2.6 GHz base, 4.4 GHz turbo), Core i7-1180G7 (1.3 GHz base, 4.6 GHz turbo), Core i7-1185G7 ( 3.0GHz base, 4.8GHz turbo) all have Intel Xe GPU built-in.
According to Intel, overall performance has improved by about 20%, which is supported by 10nm SuperFIN technology. The Tiger Lake architecture is also characterized by an 8x improvement in AI performance, which is hard to see in the consumer market, and we are looking forward to seeing whether this technology will have a more tangible effect in business applications.
Of course, most of the benefits of vPro-based laptops come into play in everyday tasks. Stephanie Holford, general manager of Business Client Platforms at Intel's Client Computing Group, emphasized the benefits of the day-to-day work of surfing the web to find documents and sharing this document in a blurred zoom video conferencing.
Intel Hardware Shield, which was introduced in the 8th generation vPro chip in 2019 and upgraded as an additional function in the 10th generation product line, is a standard specification. The purpose of the hardware shield is to provide hardware-level defense against basic attacks on the PC firmware. In the 11th generation of core chips, Intel added Control Flow Technology (CET) and Intel Threat Detection (TDT) to the hardware shield technology.
