The highly integrated 2nd generation of Intel® Core™ i3/i5/i7 processors will populate all major standard embedded form factors, ranging from small-form-factor to high-performance designs.


The new platforms based on 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors incorporate Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX). This accelerates scalar-based operations required for imaging applications in industrial automation, medicine, and military projects as well as floating-point intensive applications, such as High-Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC). Additionally, Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 automatically shifts or reallocates processor cores and processor graphics resources to speed up performance, optimizing a workload to give users an immediate performance boost whenever possible based on thermal headroom.


To unleash the full potential of the new processor architecture, OEMs can now benefit from these enhancements on a wide portfolio of standardized and proven platforms to minimize design risk and speed up time-to-market.
