intel centrino pro New Intel® Centrino® Pro processor technology is a great choice for large enterprise, particularly on ThinkPad® notebooks equipped with Lenovo ThinkVantage® Technologies.

Intel launched its most advanced mobile technology platform on May 9, 2007. That same day, Lenovo unveiled its first Intel® Centrino Pro-based notebook, and today we offer Centrino Pro technology on T Series, X Series and X Series Tablet models.

Centrino Pro combines Intel’s latest processors, next-generation chipsets and advanced wireless technology for a super-fast, super-secure mobile computing experience.

Centrino Pro systems feature:
  • Intel Core2 Duo processors (T7300, T7500 and T7700)
  • Intel® GM/PM965 Express chipsets with Intel® Active Management Technology (iAMT) 2.5

Security, mobility and manageability
Intel’s best mobile processor technology for business, Centrino Pro delivers hardware-based security and enhanced manageability, along with exceptional performance and outstanding mobility.

Built-in manageability, proactive security... Centrino Pro can help reduce IT vulnerability with hardware-based agent presence checking. And together with Lenovo ThinkVantage Technologies, it can enable built-in manageability and proactive security across an entire PC fleet from a single console.

Dual core performance and 64-bit support…
Intel Core2 Duo processors provide increased performance without sacrificing mobility or battery life [footnote 1… See below]. And the latest Core2 Duo processors – which are part of the new Centrino Pro platform – offer 64-bit support for optimal performance on 64-bit applications in the latest operating systems such as Windows Vista® Business 64.

Continued mobile technology innovation…
New embedded wireless – based on the 802.11n specification – can mean faster wireless speeds [footnote 2… See below] (with backward compatibility).

Intel vPro technology for desktop systems
Centrino Pro is a natural extension of the same iAMT technology that was announced for desktop PCs in late 2006. Intel ® vPro ™ technology on ThinkCentre ® M Series models adds the same level of convenient remote management and security as Centrino Pro on notebooks.
