Key Insights: Core i-Series vs Core Ultra for 2025–26 Procurement
• AI Readiness: Core i3/i5/i7 have no NPU. Only Core Ultra 5 and Ultra 7 carry Intel's AI Boost NPU, making them mandatory for departments deploying Microsoft Copilot+, on-device LLMs, or sovereign AI applications.
• Power Efficiency: Core Ultra uses the Intel 4 process node — Ultra 5 and Ultra 7 consume up to 47% less power than Core i7, significantly reducing electricity bills for large deployments.
• Memory Bandwidth: DDR5 5600 MHz on Ultra platforms provides 2× the memory bandwidth of DDR4 on Core i-series, critical for analytics, medical imaging, and AI inference workloads.
• Security: Only Ultra 5 and Ultra 7 include Intel vPro and TME (Total Memory Encryption), required for Government of India classified computing environments and CERT-In compliant deployments.
• GeM Procurement: All configurations are Class I Make in India certified and GeM-listed. Government officers can safely procure any TAUT Pro 200 variant without compliance risk.
