There’s actually no such thing as a Core vPro processor, instead we’re talking about Intel’s Core i5 and Core i7 processors here, paired up with Intel’s business oriented Q57 chipset. The system is also required to use Intel’s 82577LM or 82578DM Gigabit Ethernet controller depending if it’s a notebook or a desktop. Intel’s Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 or Centrino Advanced-N 6200 and the Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 wireless solutions are also part of the overall package in notebooks.

The new and improved vPro technology for 2010 adds a new security feature that goes under the name of Intel anti-theft technology 2.0 which adds various layers of encryption and allows the system to be locked down if it would be lost or stolen. The good news is that if the machine is recovered, it can be restored back to its original working with all the data intact.
