Intel Optane™ Memory Supported Intel Optane™ memory is a revolutionary new class of non-volatile memory that sits in between system memory & storage to accelerate system performance & responsiveness. When combined with the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver, it seamlessly manages multiple tiers of storage while presenting one virtual drive to the OS, ensuring that data frequently used resides on the fastest tier of storage. Intel Optane™ memory requires specific hardware & software configuration. Intel Turbo Boost Technology Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processors frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal & power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it, & increased energy efficiency when you don’t. Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. It offers enhanced manageability by limiting downtime & maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) continues from the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) & Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end users improve security & reliability of the systems & also improve performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments. Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory intensive virtualized applications. Extended Page Tables in Intel Virtualization Technology platforms reduces the memory & power overhead costs & increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management. Intel 64 Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop & mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.&sup 1; Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual & physical memory.
