Memory Intel® OptaneTM supported The memory Intel® OptaneTM is a revolutionary new category of non-volatile memory that lies between system memory and storage to speed up system performance and response times. When combined with the technology driver Intel® Rapid Storage directly manages multiple storage levels by presenting a single virtual unit to the operating system and ensures that the most frequently used data is in the fastest storage level. The memory Intel® OptaneTM requires a specific hardware and software configuration. Technology Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Intel® Turbo Boost dynamically increases the frequency of the processor if necessary by using additional temperature and power capacity to provide acceleration and reduce energy consumption if necessary. Technology Intel® Hyper-Threading The Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology provides two processing threads for each physical core. Applications with a high number of threads can perform multiple parallel operations, completing tasks in less time. Intel® Virtualization Technology The Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows a single hardware platform to act as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers improved manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity through the isolation of processing activities in separate partitions. Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) adds to the current virtualization support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium® (VT-i) platforms the virtualization support for I/O devices. Intel VT-d allows users to improve system security and reliability and increase I/O device performance in virtualized environments. Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for virtualized applications requiring intensive memory use. Extended Page Tables in platforms with Intel® Virtualization Technology reduces energy consumption, general memory expenses and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management. Intel® 64 Architecture Intel® 64 makes 64-bit processing available on server, workstation, desktop and mobile platforms when combined with support software1. Architecture Intel 64 offers an increase in performance thanks to the ability for systems to use over 4 GB of virtual and physical memory. Instruction set For instructions set, the basic set of commands and instructions a microprocessor is able to recognize and execute. The indicated value represents the instruction set of Intel with which the processor is compatible. Extensions instruction set Instruction set extensions are additional instructions that can improve performance when performing the same operations for multiple data objects. They can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions). Inactivity states Inactivity states (status C) are used to reduce energy consumption when the processor is inactive. C0 is the operating state and indicates that the CPU is performing useful operations. C1 is the first state of inactivity, C2 the second and so on. More actions are taken to reduce energy consumption, the higher the number of states C. Technology Intel Advanced SpeedStep® Technology Intel Advanced SpeedStep® is an advanced tool that delivers high performance while meeting the energy saving requirements of mobile systems. Traditional technology Intel SpeedStep® provides voltage and frequency shift from higher levels to lower levels and vice versa in response to the processor's workload. Technology Intel Advanced SpeedStep® is based on such architecture using design strategies such as voltage separation and frequency changes, partitioning and clock restoration. Thermal monitoring technologies Temperature monitoring technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failures through different temperature management functions. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects core temperature and thermal management functions reduce the energy consumption of the package and possibly the temperature, so as to remain within normal operating limits. Technology Intel® identity protection Technology Intel® identity protection is a security token that provides a simple method of tamper protection, for secure access to online data on customers and companies. Technology IntelIdentity protection ® is a hardware device that uniquely identifies a PC for access to websites, financial institutions and network services, as it shows that the attempt to access is not carried out by a malware. Technology Intel® identity protection can be a fundamental component of two-factor authentication solutions for information protection when accessing websites and using business data for access.
