17. Advanced Technologies Defines platform-level enhancements that provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms. provide the authenticity of the controlling environment such that those wishing to rely on the platform can make an appropriate trust decision. determines the identity of the controlling environment by accurately measuring and verifying the controlling software. Intel® Trusted Execution Technology

18. Advanced Technologies Intel® Trusted Execution Technology

19. Advanced Technologies 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® Hyper-Threading Technology*

20. Advanced Technologies Allows the processor core to opportunistically and automatically run faster than its rated operating frequency/render clock if it is operating below power, temperature, and current limits. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature is designed to increase performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads . Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

21. Advanced Technologies is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware. Identity and web site access point protection . Confidential personal and business data protection. Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations.

22. Advanced Technologies 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® 64

23. Advanced Technologies Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) helps keep your laptop safe and secure in the event that it’s ever lost or stolen. Intel® AT requires a service subscription from an Intel® AT–enabled service provider. Detects device theft Locks down lost device Restores operation easily Intel® Anti-Theft Technology

24. Advanced Technologies The latest expansion of the Intel instruction set. It extends the Intel S treaming S IMD E xtensions (Intel SSE) from 128-bit vectors to 256-bit vectors. Intel AVX addresses the continued need for vector floating-point performance in mainstream scientific and engineering numerical applications , visual processing, recognition , data-mining /synthesis , gaming , physics , cryptography and other application areas.

25. Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions Intel AVX introduces support for 256-bit wide SIMD registers (YMM0-YMM7 in operating modes that are 32-bit or less, YMM0-YMM15 in 64-bit mode). The lower 128-bits of the YMM registers are aliased to the respective 128-bit XMM registers.

26. Advanced Technologies Multiple frequency and voltage points for optimal performance and power efficiency . These operating points are known as P-states. Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep ® Technology

27. Advanced Technologies A set of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES ). Intel AES-NI are valuable for a wide range of cryptographic applications , for example: applications that perform bulk encryption/decryption, authentication , random number generation, and authenticated encryption. AES is broadly accepted as the standard for both government and industry applications, and is widely deployed in various protocols. Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions ( Intel® AES-NI )

28. Advanced Technologies AES-NI consists of six Intel SSE instructions. Four instructions, namely AESENC , AESENCLAST , AESDEC , and AESDELAST facilitate high performance AES encryption and decryption. AESIMC and AESKEYGENASSIST , support the AES key expansion procedure. Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions ( Intel® AES-NI )

29. Advanced Technologies Allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable, when combined with a supporting operating system. If code attempts to run in non-executable memory the processor raises an error to the operating system. This feature can prevent some classes of viruses or worms that exploit buffer overrun vulnerabilities and can thus help improve the overall security of the system. Execute Disable Bit
