Intel^® Centrino^® 2 with vPro^TM Technology

Spend smart, do more, and be more secure

Building on Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology, the HP EliteBook chosen by No Panic Computing has a unified approach for managing and protecting the computer. With the Intel Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology capabilities, the notebook gains powerful proactive security, built-in manageability, and energy-efficient performance.

The Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology produces more than twice the CPU performance when doing processor-intensive tasks like multitasking compared to the previous generation of Intel® Centrino® processor technology-based laptops. vPro allows for the longest possible battery life due to energy saving features such as Intel® Intelligent Power Capability and Deep Power Down Technology. vPro delivers up to 5x faster wireless performance than 802.11a/b/g solutions with Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N.

Key technical components of the Intel Centrino® 2 with vPro™ technology include the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, the Mobile Intel® GM/PM965 Express chipset, the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965ABG.

		Feature	Benefit
Intel® vPro™ Technology		The best Intel-based mobile PC for business brings you hardware-based technologies that deliver proactive security and enhanced maintenance and management capabilities.	Strengthened security measures plus greater manageability capabilities that lower the total cost of servicing, maintaining and managing both wired and wireless notebook PCs.
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor		Revolutionary mobile, dual-core processor architecture puts two complete execution cores in the same processor.	Industry-leading performance and responsiveness to run multiple demanding applications simultaneously with the same great energy efficiency, enabling great battery life.
	Intel® Advanced Smart Cache	A shared L2 cache allows both cores access to the full L2 memory area, and allows shared data to be accessed from cache, minimizing bus traffic. It also allows one core to use the entire cache when the other core is inactive. Provides twice the bandwidth to L1 caches compared to Intel® Core™ Duo processor.	More efficient cache and bus design enables better performance, responsiveness and power savings.
	Power-Optimized 1066 MHz Front Side Bus	Increased processor system bus speed.	Provides increased data bus bandwidth, vs. prior generations, for up to four full instructions simultaneously (previous generation could only handle three instructions).
	Intel® FSB Frequency Switching	At minimal workloads, Intel FSB Frequency Switching helps to lower FSB data transfer rate.	Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology directly benefits from Intel FSB Frequency switching because the reduced CPU frequency allows a lower operating voltage to be used in minimal workloads. This ultimately leads to lower power consumption.
	Intel® Intelligent Power Capability	Ultra fine-grained control over the CPU’s logic circuitry to turn on only the parts that are needed.	Power management features that enable the same great battery life as Intel® Centrino® Duo processor technology with Intel Core Duo processor.
	Intel® Dynamic Power Coordination	Helps manage voltage and power consumption. One core can demand high performance while the other core can independently transition to a low-power state.	Enables reduction in power consumption and enables great battery life.
	Improved Security	Better security built right into the chipset through Execute Disable Bit.	Unique technology integrated into all Intel processors guards against an entire class of viruses and worms.
Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N (Intel® WiFi Link 5000 series)		Connects to most available industry-standards-based wireless LAN (802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g and Draft 802.11n) Up to 5x faster compared to 802.11a/g products with data rates up to 450 Mbps.4 Support for legacy and latest high throughput WLAN technologies provides connectivity options for multiple environments.	Flexibility to connect to your wireless home network and public wireless LAN hotspots located in airports, hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops around the world. Enables wireless Intel® Active Management Technology 4.0. Helps overcome network capacity issues, allowing increased simultaneous network activity for large file transfers, streaming HD video, VOIP and more.
	Up to 2x4 greater range with MIMO and antenna diversity support	MIMO technology leverages multipath behavior by using multiple, “smart” transmitters and receivers with an added “spatial” dimension to increase performance and range.	Reduces the number of “dead zones,” dropped data packets, network reconnects, and dramatically improves connectivity throughout the home.
	Great battery life with optimized power modes	Reduced WLAN power consumption can help deliver great platform battery life.	Allows for greater utility, enjoyment, and convenience.
Intel® 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection		Single-port Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer Transceiver (PHY) that connects to its MAC through a dedicated interconnect. It is based on Intel’s Gigabit PHY technology, and supports operation at data rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps.	Offers high performance and low power consumption for fast throughput and seamless transfers of large amounts of data.
