Features:

Intel® 64 Architecture

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

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology

The processor supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) that allows an execution core to function as two logical processors. While some execution resources such as caches, execution units, and buses are shared, each logical processor has its own architectural state with its own set of general-purpose registers and control registers. This feature must be enabled using the BIOS and requires operating system support.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)

Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) makes a single system appear as multiple independent systems to software. This allows multiple, independent operating systems to run simultaneously on a single system. Intel VT comprises technology components to support virtualization of platforms based on Intel architecture microprocessors and chipsets. Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x) added hardware support in the processor to improve the virtualization performance and robustness.

Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® Technology

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology allows trade-offs to be made between performance and power consumptions, based on processor utilization. This may lower average power consumption (in conjunction with OS support)
