Intel’s new tools offer balance between security and performance

Intel has released a new tool for PC users, called Accelerated Memory Scanning. The slim and less powerful ones use Intel GPUs, also known as Integrated GPU, while the more powerful high-end systems meant for gaming, designing and video editing depend on discreet GPUs made by Nvidia or AMD. This new tool will work with all major anti-virus or security solutions including Microsoft Defender, which comes pre-loaded on all Windows 10 PCs. Intel has also announced a hardware level security suite called Security Essentials. It is basically a framework which will standardise built-in security features across all Intel CPUs including Core, Atom and Xeon chipsets.
