In addition to the near 50 percent increase in performance, the new chip also has Intel’s SGX (Software Guard Extensions) to “protect sensitive code and data with the smallest potential attack surface within the system.” The technology can isolate and process up to 1 terabyte of code and data in private memory areas Intel calls enclaves. There are a couple of more security features in Ice Lake, including Total Memory Encryption and Platform Firmware Resilience, that together can “address today’s most pressing data protection concerns.” The chip also features cryptographic acceleration for businesses that run encryption-intensive workloads.
Lastly, the new chip boasts 74 percent faster AI performance than the previous generation making it possible “to infuse AI into every application from edge to network to cloud.”
