Intel® Optane™ memory is a revolutionary new class of non-volatile memory that is located between system memory and data storage to accelerate the performance and responsiveness of the system. In combination with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver, it seamlessly manages multiple storage tiers when deploying a virtual disk to the operating system. This ensures that frequently used data is at the fastest memory level. Intel® OptaneTM™ memory requires specific hardware and software configuration.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost technology dynamically increases the frequency of a processor as needed by taking advantage of the temperature and power reserves to provide more speed and otherwise more energy efficiency when needed.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology enables two processing threads per physical Kern. Applications with many threads can do more tasks in parallel and end tasks earlier.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)
With Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x), one hardware platform can be used as multiple "virtual" platforms. It provides improved manageability by reducing downtime and maintaining productivity by moving the compute operations into separate partitions.
Intel® Directed I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d) continues to support existing virtualization solutions for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium® processor (VT-i)-based systems and adds new support for I/O device virtualization. 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 platforms with Intel® virtualization technology reduces the total cost of storage and power, and increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.
Intel 64
In conjunction with the 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 virtual and physical memory through this processor expansion.
Command set
A command set refers to the set of basic commands and instructions that a microprocessor understands and can execute. The value displayed indicates which Intel command set this processor is compatible with.
Extensions of the command set
Command set extensions are additional instructions for increasing performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (streaming SIMD extensions) and AVX (advanced vector extensions).
Inactivity status
Standby states (C states) are used to save energy when the processor is idle. C0 is the operating state, i.e. the CPU performs useful tasks. C1 is the first idle state, C2 is the second state, etc., where more energy savings are applied for higher C-state numbers.
Advanced Intel SpeedStep® technology
Advanced Intel SpeedStep® technology is an advanced feature for the combination of high performance and lowest power consumption required on mobile devices. The conventional Intel SpeedStep® technology switches the voltage and frequency between high and low values simultaneously depending on the processor load. The Intel SpeedStep® advanced technology is built on this architecture and uses design strategies such as voltage and frequency separation, clock partitioning and restoration.
Thermal monitoring technology
Thermal monitoring technologies protect the processor package and the system from temperature-related failures through temperature management functions. A digital temperature sensor on the chip detects the temperature of the core, and the temperature management functions reduce the power consumption of the package and thus the temperature, as needed, in order to comply with the limits for normal operation.
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 data against threats and fraud. Intel® identity protection technology provides hardware-based proof of a user's PC when accessing websites, financial institutions, and network services. The technology verifies that it is not malware that is trying to log in. Intel® identity protection technology can be an important part of two-factor authentication solutions that protect your information when you log in to websites and businesses.
