About 10 years ago, Intel committed to

Establish an industry standard framework for platform innovation and delivering interoperable firmware binary modules on Intel platforms

Industry BIOS Transition

Pre-2000
All Platforms BIOS were proprietary Intel invented the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and provided sample implementation under free BSD terms tianocore.org, open source EFI community launched

2000

2004

2005

Unified EFI (UEFI) Industry forum, with 11 members, was formed to standardize EFI
183 members and growing! Major MNCs shipping - UEFI platforms crossed 50% of IA worldwide units Microsoft* UEFI x64 support in Server 2008, Vista* and Win7* - RedHat* and Novell* OS support

UEFI Vision Timeline & Progress

2000-2004 2005-2010 2011-2015 2015+

Technology Creation Industry Transition

Standard Common Firmware Foundation & Interoperable Packages Technology will free up more OEMs/IBVs resources for differentiation Rich pre-boot environment will enable more Optimization and integration of new capabilities

Early Adoption led by MNCs: Apple, Dell, HP, IBM

Industry Wide Adoption

Increased Innovation Differentiation
www.uefi.org 10

Key Factors fueling wide UEFI adoption:

Major OEMs making UEFI a design requirement Industry mandate for Fast Boot performance & Support for large hard drives (> 2.2 TB) Intel convergence on common UEFI code base; No BIOS legacy support from Intel UEFI Plugfest July 2011

UEFI-based Value-Add & Innovation

Pre-OS Security & Rich Networking IPV6/IPSec; Authenticode signature for firmware modules; protected updates; TPM & S-RTM Manageability Enhanced Diagnostics; Intelligent & efficient platform updates; Flexible OS deployment; Consistent look & feel; Improved UI usability and OOB mgmt capabilities Power Management Power metering, power capping, power saving Optimized Boot & Modern Look Fast boot and resume response; High resolution graphics; System boot from large drives >2.2 TB
