 Writing an end to the bio of BIOS | Tech News on ZDNet
The EFI specification is essentially a preboot environment that allows a PC to conduct activities such as scanning for viruses or running diagnostics.
The framework, called Platform Innovation Framework for EFI and sometimes referred to by the code name Tiano, allows PC makers to write preboot software modules, which are similar to Windows drivers, designed to get a PC's hardware up and running before handing off control of it to the operating system.
Gateway, which uses EFI in its all-in-one Gateway 610 Media Center desktop, said it chose to do so because EFI proved a more efficient way to code preboot software and can also help to improve the product from a long-term development perspective, a company representative said.

 More Power to Firmware
EFI was designed for computers based on the Itanium Processor Family (IPF), but its scope has been widened to include the next generation of IA-32 computers, with provisions for compatibility with legacy BIOS through a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) -- a series of drivers cooperating with a legacy BIOS runtime component.
EFI aims to be a powerful and modular firmware that is readily extensible, even by (power) users.
EFI's pre-boot environment is also meant to facilitate robust solutions for secure network booting, secure network resetting, remote provisioning and setup (through bootable "agents" that are EFI objects), remote management of system firmware, and so on.

 Evolution of BIOS: EFI, the Framework, and beyond
Intel is normally associated with processors and chipsets, but its introduction of the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI ("the Framework") [whitepaper] shows that it has a growing interest in shaping the firmware market.
This is where the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) was born, out of the necessity to keep a true OS-independent firmware interface that did not have ties to a specific system architecture.
The EFI model offers a lot of advantages for AMI and its customer base -- common boot loader and runtime interface across architectures, features than can be ported cross-platform and cross-architecture, moving away from an older firmware model that is gated by a twenty year old design.
