Introduction
• Enhanced Intel Technology SpeedStep^® Technology — Enhanced Intel
Technology 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).
• Intel^® Virtualization Technology (Intel^® VT) — Intel Virtualization Technology
provides silicon-based functionality that works together with compatible Virtual
Machine Monitor (VMM) software to improve upon software-only solutions. Because
this virtualization hardware provides a new architecture upon which the operating
system can run directly, it removes the need for binary translation. Thus, it helps
eliminate associated performance overhead and vastly simplifies the design of the
VMM, in turn allowing VMMs to be written to common standards and to be more
robust. See the Intel^® Virtualization Technology Specification for the IA-32 Intel^®
Architecture for more details.
