Intel® Optane™ memory supported
Intel® Optane™ memory is a revolutionary new class of persistent memory that sits between system memory and data storage to accelerate system performance and responsiveness. Combined with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver, it seamlessly manages multiple tiers of storage while providing a virtual drive for the operating system. This ensures that frequently used data is in the fastest storage tier. Intel® Optane™ memory requires specific hardware and software configuration.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases a processor''s frequency as needed by taking advantage of headroom in temperature and performance to provide more speed when needed and more power efficiency when it''s not.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)
With Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x), one hardware platform can be used as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers improved manageability through less downtime and maintaining productivity by moving computing operations to separate partitions.
Intel® Directed I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d)
Intel® Directed-I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d) continues the existing support of virtualization solutions for the IA-32 (VT-x) and systems with Itanium® processors (VT-i) and adds new support for I/O device virtualization. The Intel VT-d can help users improve the security and reliability of systems and the 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), accelerates memory-intensive virtualization applications. Using Extended Page Tables on Intel® Virtualization Technology platforms reduces overall storage and power costs and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.
Intel® 64
When coupled with the appropriate software, the Intel® 64 architecture enables 64-bit processing on servers, workstations, PCs and mobile platforms.1 Intel 64 improves performance by allowing the system to address more than 4 GB of virtual and physical memory with this processor expansion .
instruction set
An instruction set is the set of basic commands and instructions that a microprocessor understands and can execute. The displayed value indicates which Intel instruction set this processor is compatible with.
Extensions to the instruction set
Instruction set extensions are additional instructions to increase performance when performing the same operations on multiple data objects. These may include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).
inactivity status
Sleep states (C-states) are used to conserve power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operating state, ie the CPU is performing useful tasks. C1 is the first idle state, C2 is the second, and so on, with more power saving actions being taken for higher C-state numbers.
Advanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
The Advanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced functionality for the combination of high performance with the lowest possible energy consumption required on mobile devices. Traditional Intel SpeedStep® technology simultaneously switches the voltage and frequency between high and low levels based on processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds on this architecture and leverages design strategies such as separation between voltage and frequency changes, and clock partitioning and recovery.
thermal monitoring technique
Thermal monitoring technologies protect the processor package and the system from temperature-related failures via thermal management functions. An on-chip digital temperature sensor detects the temperature of the core, and thermal management features lower the package''s power consumption when necessary, reducing the temperature to stay within normal operating limits.
Intel® Identity Protection Technology
Intel® Identity Protection Technology is an integrated security technology that provides a simple, tamper-proof way to protect your online customer and business information from threats and fraud. Intel® Identity Protection Technology provides hardware-based authentication of a user''s PC when accessing websites, financial institutions, and network services. The technique verifies that it is not malware attempting to log in. Intel® Identity Protection Technology can be an important part of two-factor authentication solutions that protect your information during website and corporate logins.
