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® vPro™ platform qualification
Intel® vPro™ Technology is a collection of security and manageability features built into the processor that address four critical areas in IT security: 1) threat management, including protection against rootkits, viruses and malware, 2) identity protection and website access points, 3) protection of confidential personal and business data, 4) remote and local monitoring, remediation and repair of personal computers and workstations.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology enables two processing threads per physical core. Applications with many threads can do more work in parallel and complete tasks sooner.
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® TSX-NI
The Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions New Instructions (Intel® TSX-NI) is a set of instructions for multithreaded performance scaling. This technique improves efficiency in parallel operations through improved control of locks in software.
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).
Number of AVX-512 FMA units
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512) are new instruction set extensions that provide ultra-wideband (512-bit) vector operations capabilities with up to 2 FMAs (fused multiply add instructions) to accelerate your most demanding computational tasks.
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.
Intel® Speed Shift Technology
Intel® Speed Shift Technology uses hardware-controlled P-states to deliver significantly faster response times with transient, short-duration, single-threaded workloads (like web browsing). It also allows the processor to choose the best operating frequency and voltage for optimal performance and energy efficiency.
