Introducing Intel® Core™ Ultra ProcessorsIntel® Core™ Ultra processors shape the future of commercial computing in four major ways: Power Efficiency The new product line features a holistic approach to power efficiency that benefits mobile work. Substantial changes to the microarchitecture, manufacturing process, packaging technology, and power management software result in up to 40% lower processor power consumption for modern tasks such as video conferencing with a virtual camera.Artificial IntelligenceIntel Core Ultra processors incorporate an AI-optimized architecture that supports new user experiences and the next wave of commercial applications.

The CPU, GPU, and the new neural processing unit (NPU) are all capable of executing AI tasks as directed by application developers. For example, elevated mobile collaboration is possible with support for AI assisted background blur, noise suppression, eye tracking, and picture framing.

Intel Core Ultra processors are capable of up to 2.5x the AI inference performance per watt as compared to Intel’s previous mobile processor offering.Platform Protections New enhancements help further reduce the attack surface of Intel Core Ultra notebooks. Intel® Threat Detection Technology now utilizes all compute engines, including the NPU, to bring AI-assisted anomaly detection to third party security software.

In addition, the new Intel® Silicon Security Engine enables hardware-based authentication of system firmware. These security capabilities are supported on all processors within the Intel Core Ultra portfolio.
