Additionally, Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 automatically shifts or reallocates processor cores and processor graphics resources to speed up performance, tailoring a workload to give users an immediate performance boost whenever possible based on thermal headroom. Since OEMs can use these enhancements on a wide Kontron portfolio of standardized and proven platforms, design risks are minimized and quality rises. Furthermore, R&D cost savings and reduced time-to-market are accomplished through Kontron's unified cross platform middleware, Kontron EAPI, which is included in all new Kontron boards and systems with the 2nd generation of Intel(R) Core i3/i5/i7 processors.
