Intelhas announced its new vPro platform, powered by the company’s latest 13th Gen Intel Core processors, which it hopes will find a home in your nextbusiness laptop.
The chip maker promises “the best in security, business management, and performance” as businesses look to futureproof their investments in a tightening economy.
“Dozens” of security capabilities are built into the silicon which Intel says gives it a 70% advantage in reducing attack surface compared with four-year-old PCs. With this comparison, Intel is essentially telling customers that the PCs they bought before the pandemic are at a much higher risk of attack, which has become a hot topic as several countries strengthen their technological battles.
