vPro processors specifically designed for remote work and education are unveiled.
Strengthening the budget lineup, including Pentium Silver and Celeron


PC sales have seen a rare increase as demand for remote work and education has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the 12th, at CES 2021, which was held entirely online, Intel announced ▲'11th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro®' processor and 'Intel® Evo™ vPro®' platform ▲'Intel® Pentium® Silver' and 'Intel® Celeron®' processors ▲'11th Gen Intel® Core™ H-series' mobile processors.

Additionally, it was announced that the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ S-series desktop processor, codenamed 'Rocket Lake S', will be released in the first half of this year, and the 12th Gen processor, codenamed 'Alder Lake S', will be released in the second half of this year.r />

Targeting thin and light laptops, the 11th Gen Intel Core vPro processors feature hardware-based Intel® Hardware Shield security technology and AI threat detection to prevent ransomware and cryptomining attacks. Wi-Fi 6 support and enhanced AI performance boost communication and processing speeds, making them ideal for video conferencing.

The Intel Evo vPro platform is a family of certified laptops designed for business users, combining the portability of Evo with the manageability and security of vPro, delivering exceptional responsiveness, instant boot-up, and long-lasting battery life. Sixty Intel Evo vPro platform laptops are launching this year, including Chromebooks.

As demand for PCs for distance learning grows, so does the demand for affordable yet powerful processors. The new Intel Pentium Silver and Celeron processors, built on Intel's 10nm process, deliver a 35% increase in overall performance and a 78% increase in graphics performance compared to the previous generation.

Additionally, Intel launched its Online Learning Initiative in April of last year to provide hundreds of thousands of laptops to students who have difficulty obtaining them, and announced that it will continue this effort this year with partners both within and outside the industry.

The 11th generation Intel Core H-series mobile processor (i7-11375H, 11370H, 11300H), codenamed 'Tiger Lake H35', which covers gaming and business purposes, has a power consumption (28-35W) suitable for laptops with a thickness of 16mm, and supports a maximum clock speed of 5GHz and 4 cores and 8 threads. It also provides external graphics connection with support for 4th generation PCIe architecture.

At CES, Acer, VAIO, MSI, ASUS, and others announced new laptops powered by the Tiger Lake H35 processor, with more than 40 laptops expected to launch in the first half of 2021. Intel has announced that it will release an 8-core processor within the first quarter of this year.

Additionally, Intel unveiled its next-generation processors, codenamed Rocket Lake S (scheduled for release in the first quarter of this year) and Alder Lake S (scheduled for release in the second half of this year). However, both products were produced using the 10nm SuperFin process, leaving some room for improvement.
