The Intel vPro® platform, now with 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors, delivers uncompromised productivity, hardware-based security features, and a foundation for computing innovation. The Intel vPro® platform powered by 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors streamlines IT and gives business users what they want: fewer interruptions, built-in security features, responsive business-class performance, and fast, reliable connectivity.

A Foundation for Computing Innovation

A Scalable Processor Portfolio
To meet a variety of performance and form factor needs, 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors are offered in the U series for mainstream mobile systems, the H series for high-end mobile systems and the S series for desktop and entry workstation computing. The U series is segmented into the i5 and i7 processor designators. While both S and the H series are further segmented into performance tiers identified by the i5, i7, i9 and Intel® Xeon® W processor designators.

10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors feature up to 10 processor cores, Gen 9 Intel® UHD Graphics with support for 4K content, a two-channel DDR4 memory controller, and the new Intel® 400 Series Platform Controller Hub (PCH) with support for Thunderbolt™ 3 technology, Intel® Optane™ memory, and integrated Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax.

A Robust Set of Connectivity Options

Powering Innovative Experiences with Thin and Light Mobile Systems
10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors (U series) are offered in two versions for mainstream mobile systems. Processors with the i5 designator feature 4 cores, 8 threads, and an 8 MB cache with a 15-watt thermal design power (TDP) option, processors with the i7 designator support 4/6 cores, 8/12 threads, and a 12 MB cache with a 15-watt TDP. The U series 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors are enabling our partners to deliver business-class thin and light mobile systems.

Enabling Productive Workspaces
New 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors (S series) are offered at TDP options of 35, 65 and 125 watts, enabling elegant small form factor desktops, traditional towers, and modern all-in-one touchscreen systems. 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors with the i5 designator feature 6 cores, 12 threads and a 12 MB cache, processors with the i7 designator support 8 cores, 16 threads and a 16 MB cache. At the top of the stack, processors with the i9 designator deliver 10 cores, 20 threads, and a 16 MB cache. 10th Gen Intel® Xeon® W processors are offered at TDP options of 35, 80 and 125 watts. They feature 6/8/10 cores, 12/16/20 threads and 12/16/20 MB cache. All performance/power options support the robust set of connectivity options of the Intel® 400 series PCH, including integrated Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax wireless. The improved performance of integrated Wi-Fi 6 allows desktops to be placed at any location independently of Ethernet cabling concerns.

5 Versions for High-End Mobile Systems

Desktop-Caliber Performance for Mobile Workers
10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors (H series) are offered in 5 versions for high-end mobile systems. Processors with the i5 designator feature 4 cores, 8 threads, and an 8 MB cache, processors with the i7 designator feature 6/8 cores, 12/16 threads, and a 12/16 MB cache, processors with the i9 designator feature 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 16 MB cache, and processors with the Intel® Xeon® W designator feature 6/8 cores, 12/16 threads and a 12/16 MB cache. All processors operate at a 45-watt TDP. i9, i7 and Intel® Xeon® W processors also support Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost (Intel® TVB)1, which increases clock frequency under specific operating conditions. The Intel® 400 series PCH supports integrated Wi-Fi 6 as well as 4G LTE via discrete components.

Built for Business
Computing systems that incorporate the eligible processor SKUs shown in the table below and meet the Intel vPro® brand requirements are optimized for corporate environments. Technology decision makers may deploy 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors in a wide variety of mobile and desktop form factors and manage these endpoints with a consistent set of security and maintenance policies. Systems based on the Intel vPro® platform require either the Microsoft Windows* 10 Pro or Windows* 10 Enterprise OS.

Security and Manageability Features
The 10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® platform provides businesses with the tools to help secure computing endpoints with expanded below-the-OS and advanced threat protection features. Intel® Hardware Shield locks down system critical resources to help prevent malicious code injection from compromising the OS, helps ensure the OS runs on legitimate hardware, and delivers hardware-to-OS security reporting to enable your OS to enforce a more comprehensive security policy. It also includes advanced threat detection that offloads routine security functions for lower user impact and continued productivity.

Modern Manageability with Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) and Intel® Endpoint Management Assistant (Intel® EMA) allows hardware-based cloud manageability empowering IT to do more. Help lower incidents over the PC lifecycle, improve response times, enable automated patch updates, enable same-day service and faster incident resolution via full in-band/out-of-band PC control through the cloud. The capabilities listed in the table below are designed to enable, accelerate, or complement features and services within the Windows* 10 Pro and Windows* 10 Enterprise operating systems.

Full Platform Validation Support

Platform Stability
The Intel® Stable IT Platform Program (Intel® SIPP) enables predictable transitions for businesses that test devices within their computing environment for performance, compatibility, and compliance. In combination with extensive validation by Intel and system vendors of multiple versions of the Windows* 10 OS, businesses can avoid problems that may arise when deploying less stable devices not optimized for corporate buying cycles or for enterprise system validation procedures. The Intel vPro® platform includes full Platform Validation support for additional (post Time To Market) Windows* 10 Enterprise SAC releases; including up to 2 previous OS releases (1809).

Optimized for Demanding Workflows
10th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors offer a suite of power, performance and connectivity technologies that can equip workers to deal with the most demanding computing workloads. Businesses that upgrade their computing fleets to the latest technology may reap the benefits of a more productive work force. The latest generation of Intel® Core™ vPro® processor-based devices optimize the employee experience today and provide the foundation for future technology advancements.
