Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it, and increased energy efficiency when you don't. Intel(R) Hyper-Threading Technology Intel(R) Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel(R) HT Technology) delivers two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done in parallel, completing tasks sooner. Intel(R) Virtualization Technology (VT-x) Intel(R) Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. Intel(R) Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) Intel(R) Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) continues from the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium(R) processor (VT-i) virtualization adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end users improve security and reliability of the systems and also improve performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments. Intel(R) VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) Intel(R) 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(R) Virtualization Technology platforms reduces the memory and power overhead costs and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management. Intel(R) 64 Intel(R) 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software.1 Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.
