Intel has just refreshed the vPro platform technology for 2007 with some new hardware (PR), as well as security and power saving features. If you're unfamiliar with vPro, it's not a singular product or chip. Like Centrino for example, vPro is an Intel platform technology that's comprised of a CPU, chipset, network controller, and proprietary software, that when combined, offer powerful hardware-based security and management capabilities for the enterprise. Code-named 'Weybridge,' the new vPro platform is built around three of Intel's new Core 2 Duo processors: the 2.33GHz E6550 model, the 2.66GHz E6750, and the 3GHz E6850.The platform also includes Intel's Q35 Express chipset, ICH9-DO south bridge, and 82566DM Gigabit Ethernet controller. With these new chispets and technologies, the vPro platform offers next-generation Intel Active Management Technology, enhanced Intel Virtualization Technology, and Intel Trusted Execution Technology (aka Intel TXT). vPro also offers support for next-generation management standards like WS-MAN and DASH (draft 1.0 spec) and support for v1.2 of the Trusted Platform Module.
