Intel Corporation today introduced its third-generation Intel vPro suite of business desktop PC technologies which, among other features, "enhanced security and reduces the time and cost of maintenance by enabling PCs to literally think and act for themselves".
"The new vPro Technology for desktop PCs also opens the door to new virtualized PC models and products aimed at the special needs of small businesses", the chip giant said in a statement.
The vPro Technology (formerly codenamed "McCreary") combines the performance of Intel Core 2 quad-core or dual-core processors with the new Intel Q45 Express Chipset and Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection along with Intel Active Management technology 5.0, it said.
