Here is another part in our series of Jargon Buster which should help in making you feel more confident and reach an informed decision about which Intel processor to invest in. We will visit a few technologies that may either sound too arcane or are simply too vague to figure out their worthiness.
Quick Sync Video
The next best thing to investing in specialized hardware (like GPU) for video editing and encoding purposes. Intel appears to have recognized the proliferation of video recorders and the subsequent video editing urges among non-professionals. All 2nd generation Intel Core processors have Quick Sync Video technology built into them, which makes video encoding and editing a quicker affair. However, one still needs video editing software that takes advantage.
Turbo Boost
Implemented in select Core i5, Core i7 and Xeon processors, it allows central processors to run over its designated base operating frequency when the system requests highest performance state from the processor. In simpler terms, the CPU can go into an overdrive state when the operating system is under particularly heavy load of tasks. Due to its nature, Intel Turbo Boost is also sometimes referred to as dynamic over-clocking.
Smart Response Technology (SRT)This technology improves the performance of hard-disk drives by using relatively low capacity solid-state drives as cache. Currently available only on motherboards using Intel’s Z68 chipset, it requires some experience with BIOS configuration. Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology software monitors and ‘learns’ user habits to cache the most frequently used files onto the quicker solid-state drive.
Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)
The Trusted Execution Technology is a security mechanism that Intel has built right into the hardware that can potentially provide wide range of security measures for hardware, communication and storage. As you can imagine, this technology is specifically designed for businesses and is available with only select few motherboards.
