Intel® vPro Technology missing in 4th Generation Intel® High End Desktop Processors

[MLubo]

Hello,

Recently I bought an Intel® Core™ i7-4820K Processor because of it's performance and supported 64GB of memory.

However, I am now really disappointed to find out that it doesn't support Intel® vPro Technology, while the rest "regular" CPUs from 4th generation do!

I would like to use the Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) and it doesn't feel good to know that the $400 high-end CPU is missing it.

My expectation from a "high-end CPU" is to provide you more than the mainstream in every aspect and not lack of features that are present in a $60 CPU!

What is the reason for that?

Why are the high-end series crippled in that manner??

Thanks,

Lyubo

Hi,

Which is the correct forum then?

Thanks for joining the processor community.

I understand you have purchased an Intel processor thinking that would have VPRO technology.

Yes, I am afraid the i7-4820K processor does not feature VPRO technology.

You have an unlocked processor; it was designed for extreme series computers, especial for games and overclockers.

Intel has integrated VPRO technology for different processor segments, classic, media or enterprise.
