The Intel NUC Kit features a customizable board and chassis that accommodates a variety of memory, storage media, and operating systems. For companies, students, educators, gamers and DIY enthusiasts. Intel® Directed I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d) Intel® Directed-I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d) continues the existing support of virtualization solutions for the IA-32 (VT-x) and systems with Itanium® processors (VT-i) and expands it with new support for I/O device virtualization. The Intel VT-d can help users improve system security and reliability as well as I/O device performance in virtualized environments. Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) With Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x), one hardware platform can be used as multiple “virtual” platforms.It provides improved manageability by reducing downtime and maintaining productivity by moving computing operations into separate partitions. Intel® AES New Instructions Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) is a set of instructions for quickly and securely encrypting and decrypting data. AES-NI are valuable components for cryptographic applications, e.g. E.g. for: bulk encryption/decryption applications, authentication, random number generation, and authentication encryption. Intel® ME firmware version Intel® Management Engine Firmware (Intel® ME FW) leverages integrated platform features, management and security applications to remotely manage out-of-band computers within a network.Max. Turbo clock frequency Maximum Turbo Clock Frequency is the maximum single core clock frequency at which the processor can operate with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology and, if available, Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost. The frequency is measured in gigahertz (GHz), or billion cycles per second. Intel® HD Audio Technology Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) can reproduce more channels of high quality than previous built-in audio formats.Plus, Intel® High Definition Audio provides the technology needed to support the latest audio content. Integrated graphics Integrated graphics provide exceptional graphics quality, fast graphics performance and flexible display options without using a separate graphics card. Intel® Optane™ memory supported Intel® Optane™ Memory is a revolutionary new class of non-volatile memory that sits between system memory and data storage to accelerate system performance and responsiveness. Combined with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver, it seamlessly manages multiple storage tiers while providing a virtual drive for the operating system. This ensures that frequently used data is on the fastest storage tier. Intel® Optane™ memory requires specific hardware and software configuration. The configuration requirements can be found at . Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) Intel® Platform Trust Technology (Intel® PTT) is a platform functionality for credential storage and key management used by Windows 8* and Windows® 10. Intel® PTT supports BitLocker* for full-disk encryption and supports all Microsoft requirements for Firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) 2.0.
