¹ Results from the 2007 EDS Case Studies with Intel® Centrino® Pro and the 2007 EDS case studies with Intel® vPro™ processor technology, 3rd party audit commissioned by Intel, of IT environments comparing test environments of Intel® Centrino® Pro and Intel® vPro™ processor technology equipped PCs vs non- Intel® vPro™ processor technology environments. Actual results may vary. Study available at intel.com/vpro and eds.com.
² Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) requires the computer system to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/platform-technology/intel-amt.
