The future of business is intelligent. Imagine a workspace where your PC anticipates your needs, streamlines workflows, and delivers actionable insights - that’s the transformative power of AI PCs built on Intel vPro® powered by Intel® CoreTM Ultra processors. This combination isn't just about faster processing; it's about intelligent performance, enhanced security, and seamless collaboration, all driven by the power of AI.

But how can your business maximize the potential of AI? The answer lies in AI PCs built with Intel vPro® with CoreTM Ultra processors, a platform designed to revolutionize the way businesses leverage AI. In this blog, we explore how these AI-ready PCs are shaping the future of work, enabling businesses to work smarter, faster, and more securely.

What is Intel vPro®

Intel vPro® is a comprehensive platform of hardware and software technologies built into business-class AI PCs, designed to provide enhanced security, manageability, and performance for professional environments.

It empowers IT teams with remote management capabilities, hardware-based security features, and stable, reliable performance, enabling them to efficiently support and protect their workforce.

Impact of Intel vPro® on Businesses

A study by Forrester Total Economic Impact (TEI) in 2021 highlights how Intel vPro® enhances business operations:

  • IT teams can deploy Intel vPro-based devices 30% faster than non-Intel devices, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.
  • Employees experience fewer technical issues, reducing 90% of endpoint hardware-related onsite visits and saving businesses $1 million in IT staff time and travel costs over three years.
  • Hardware-enabled security features lead to 23% fewer breaches, strengthening data protection and minimizing security risks.
  • Intel vPro-based devices consume 15% less energy than non-Intel alternatives, cutting energy costs by $70,000 over three years.

With Intel vPro®, companies can streamline IT management, enhance security, and optimize costs for long-term success.

Enhancing Productivity with Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors

Intel vPro® devices offer a range of Intel processors, allowing businesses to optimize power, graphics, memory, and form factors based on their needs. Intel® Core™ Ultra processors are driving the future of business computing through four key advancements:

1. Enhanced Power Efficiency:

A holistic redesign of the processor architecture, manufacturing, and software delivers up to 40% lower power consumption for tasks like video conferencing, boosting mobile work productivity.

2. Integrated Artificial Intelligence:

AI-optimized architecture, featuring a Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), and Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enables advanced AI-driven experiences, such as enhanced mobile collaboration with AI-assisted background blur and noise suppression, with up to 2.5x improved AI performance.

3. Advanced Platform Protections:

Enhanced security features, including AI-assisted anomaly detection through Intel® Threat Detection Technology and hardware-based firmware authentication via the Intel® Silicon Security Engine, bolster device security.

4. Streamlined Device Management:

Intel® Device Discovery, facilitated by the Intel® Innovation Platform Framework (Intel® IPF), enables cloud services to collect device data, improving remote management and supporting AIOps.

Features and Benefits of Intel vPro® for Business

Enhanced AI Performance

AI PCs with Intel® Core™ Ultra processors equip employees with AI-driven enhancements for smoother collaboration, improved content creation, and the power to tackle complex workloads efficiently. With built-in AI acceleration, these processors optimize tasks like real-time transcription, automated summaries, intelligent search, and AI-enhanced creative tools for editing, design, and coding.

In addition to boosting productivity, Intel® Core™ Ultra processors enhance security and system efficiency with AI-infused threat detection and power optimization, ensuring a seamless and secure computing experience. Whether managing large datasets, creating high-quality visuals, or collaborating in hybrid environments, these processors provide the performance and intelligence needed to stay ahead.

Multi-Layered Security

Intel vPro® Security integrates AI-powered threat detection to protect against ransomware, cryptojacking, and software supply chain attacks at the hardware level with Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT).

With multilayer security, Intel vPro® safeguards devices, reducing attack surfaces and preventing malware injections. Firmware-level protections defend against sophisticated threats, while Intel vPro® Enterprise for Windows enables remote access even if the operating system is down.

With Intel vPro®, businesses gain real-time protection, minimal performance impact, and peace of mind against emerging cyber threats.

Remote Fleet Management

With hybrid work becoming the norm, managing a dispersed PC fleet is more complex and costly. Intel vPro® Enterprise for Windows simplifies IT operations with Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT), providing advanced hardware-based remote management tools.

IT teams can:

  • Remotely repair corrupted drivers, software, or even a non-responsive operating system.
  • Monitor and manage all endpoints, regardless of power state, operating system status, or connectivity.
  • Automate software updates and patches remotely, minimizing user disruptions.
  • Reduce costs by avoiding up to 90% of hardware-related onsite visits and resolving issues 83% faster.

Intel vPro® also supports sustainable IT practices by allowing remote power management, reducing energy costs, and improving overall efficiency - all while keeping devices secure and up to date.

Greater Stability

Intel vPro® ensures business-class stability and reliability, making it easier to maintain and scale your PC fleet while transitioning between operating system generations on your schedule.

At the core of this stability is the Intel® Stable IT Platform Program (Intel® SIPP), which keeps hardware components consistent for 15 months from product launch.

With multistep validation and corporate platform support for multiple operating systems, IT teams can confidently scale without revalidation concerns. A 2024 IT decision-maker survey found that Intel vPro® stability helps reduce device-management-related desk tickets by up to 40%, improving efficiency and reducing IT overhead. 1

Key Takeaway

Meet the Demands of a Modern Workforce with Intel vPro®
