Intel® Hyper-ThreadingTechnology

Intel® Hyper-ThreadingTechnology (Intel® HT Technology) delivers two processing threads perphysical core. Highly threaded applications can get more work done inparallel, completing tasks sooner.

Intel®Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

Intel®Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform tofunction as multiple “virtual” platforms. It offers improvedmanageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity byisolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)

Intel® VirtualizationTechnology for Directed I/O (VT-d) continues from the existing supportfor IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium® processor (VT-i) virtualization adding newsupport for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end usersimprove security and reliability of the systems and also improveperformance 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), providesacceleration for memory intensive virtualized applications. ExtendedPage Tables in Intel® Virtualization Technology platforms reduces thememory and power overhead costs and increases battery life throughhardware optimization of page table management.

Intel® 64

Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop andmobile platforms when combined with supporting software.¹ Intel 64architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address morethan 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.

Instruction Set

An instruction set refers to the basic set of commands and instructions that amicroprocessor understands and can carry out. The value shown representswhich Intel’s instruction set this processor is compatible with.

Instruction Set Extensions

Instruction Set Extensions are additionalinstructions which can increase performance when the same operations areperformed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (StreamingSIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).

# of AVX-512 FMA Units

Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512), newinstruction set extensions, delivering ultra-wide (512-bit) vectoroperations capabilities, with up to 2 FMAs (Fused Multiply Addinstructions), to accelerate performance for your most demandingcomputational tasks.

Enhanced IntelSpeedStep® Technology

Enhanced IntelSpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performancewhile meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems.Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology switches both voltage andfrequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processorload. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds upon that architectureusing design strategies such as Separation between Voltage and FrequencyChanges, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Intel® Speed Shift Technology

Intel® Speed Shift Technology uses hardware-controlled P-states todeliver dramatically quicker responsiveness with single-threaded,transient (short duration) workloads, such as web browsing, by allowingthe processor to more quickly select its best operating frequency andvoltage for optimal performance and power efficiency.

Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost)

A new set of embedded processortechnologies designed to accelerate AI deep learning use cases. Itextends Intel AVX-512 with a new Vector Neural Network Instruction(VNNI) that significantly increases deep learning inference performanceover previous generations.

Intel® ResourceDirector Technology (Intel® RDT)
