Intel Turbo Boost Technology Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's 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 v Pro™ Technology Intel v Pro™ Technology is a set of security & manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security: 1) Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, & malware 2) Identity & web site access point protection 3) Confidential personal & business data protection 4) Remote & local monitoring, remediation, & repair of PCs & workstations. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner. 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 Trusted Execution Technology Intel Trusted Execution Technology for safer computing is a versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel processors & chipsets that enhance the digital office platform with security capabilities such as measured launch & protected execution. It enables an environment where applications can run within their own space, protected from all other software on the system. Intel 64 Intel 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop & mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.&185; Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual & physical memory.
