With 13th Gen Core processors, the vPro platform has several new enhancements. Intel Thread Detection Technology now features silicon-based virtualized and encrypted memory security for protecting system RAM against attacks. Customers now have more vendors to choose from with end-point detection and response from Intel Threat Detection Technology – a silicon-based hardware-assisted anti-virus.
Plus, Intel now provides an updated hardware refresh program that gives customers an easier upgrade path to Windows 11 through its SIPP program. Intel has also announced vPro integration with Raptor Lake notebooks utilizing Intel’s Evo design philosophy.

CPU performance has also improved significantly, with vPro enabled and all of Windows 11’s latest security standards enabled (like VBS). Compared to the i9-12900, the i9-13900 is up to 15% in UL Procyon and 7% faster in SYSmark 30. But compared to the older i9-10900, it is up to 65% in SYSmark 30 and 51% faster in UL Procyon. In a real-world computing test, consisting of background video rendering, exporting, team calls with noise suppression and background blur, and photo resizing all occurring at the same time; the i9-13900 was 45% faster than AMD’s Ryzen 9 7900 and up to 2.3x faster than the i9-10900.
Intel also tested its latest i7-1370P Raptor Lake mobile CPU against the competition and its predecessor. In SySmark 30 and UL Procyon, the i7-1370P was 2.3x faster and 59% faster, respectively, compared to a 3-year-old notebook running a Core i7-10610U. Then in another test consisting of a data analyst collaboration workflow, utilizing Microsoft Teams, reports, and PDF exports, the 1370P was 58% faster than the Ryzen 7 6850U and 2.8x faster than the i7-10610U.
