• Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS and operating
system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. For more information including details on which processors support HT
Technology, see here
• Requires an Intel® Wireless Display enabled PC, TV Adapter, and compatible television. Available on select Intel® Core processors. Does not support Blu-Ray or other
protected content playback. Consult your PC manufacturer. For more information, see www.intel.com/go/wirelessdisplay
• (Built-in Visuals) Available on the 2nd gen Intel® Core™ processor family. Includes Intel® HD Graphics, Intel® Quick Sync Video, Intel® Clear Video HD Technology, Intel®
InTru™ 3D Technology, and Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions. Also optionally includes Intel® Wireless Display depending on whether enabled on a given system or not.
Whether you will receive the benefits of built-in visuals depends upon the particular design of the PC you choose. Consult your PC manufacturer whether built-in
visuals are enabled on your system. Learn more about built-in visuals at http://www.intel.com/technology/visualtechnology/index.htm.
• Intel® Insider™ is a hardware-based content protection mechanism. Requires a 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor-based PC with built-in visuals enabled, an Internet
connection, and content purchase or rental from qualified providers. Consult your PC manufacturer. For more information, visit www.intel.com/go/intelinsider.
• Security features enabled by Intel® AMT require an enabled chipset, network hardware and software and a corporate network connection. Intel AMT may not be
available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. Setup
requires configuration and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks, and modifications or
implementation of new business processes. For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/manage/iamt.
• No system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Requires an enabled chipset, BIOS, firmware and software and a subscription with a capable Service
Provider. Consult your system manufacturer and Service Provider for availability and functionality. Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or
any other damages resulting thereof. For more information, visit http://www.intel.com/go/anti-theft
• Requires an Execute Disable Bit enabled system. Check with your PC manufacturer to determine whether your system delivers this functionality. For more
information, visit http://www.intel.com/technology/xdbit/index.htm

• Intel® vPro™ Technology is sophisticated and requires setup and activation. Availability of features and results will depend upon the setup and configuration of your
hardware, software and IT environment. To learn more visit: http://www.intel.com/technology/vpro
• The original equipment manufacturer must provide TPM functionality, which requires a TPM-supported BIOS. TPM functionality must be initialized and may not be
available in all countries.
• Intel® AES-NI requires a computer system with an AES-NI enabled processor, as well as non-Intel software to execute the instructions in the correct sequence. AES-NI
is available on select Intel® processors. For availability, consult your reseller or system manufacturer. For more information, see http://software.intel.com/en-
