Intel FHDI (Intel Flexible Display Interface)

The Intel Flexible Display Interface is a novel way to display two independently controlled channels of integrated graphics.

Clear Video HD Technology from Intel

Intel Clear Video HD Technology provides High Definition playback for a more immersive entertainment experience.

Turbo Boost 2.0 Technology from Intel

Intel Turbo Boost Technology uses thermal and power headroom to dynamically increase the processor's frequency as needed, giving you a burst of speed when you need it and increased energy efficiency when you don't.

What is Intel's Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

Intel Virtualization Technology enables a single hardware platform to perform the functions of multiple "virtual" platforms. It improves manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining productivity by partitioning computing activities.

Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) is a virtualization technology for direct I/O.

Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O expands on existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization by adding I/O-device virtualization.

Intel VT-d can assist end users in improving system security and reliability, as well as the performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.

Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)* is a virtualization technology from Intel

Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables, also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides memory-intensive virtualized applications with acceleration.

Through hardware optimization of page table management, Extended Page Tables in Intel Virtualization Technology platforms reduce memory and power overhead costs while increasing battery life.

Intel 64

When combined with supporting software, the Intel 64 architecture provides 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop, and mobile platforms. The Intel 64 architecture boosts performance by allowing systems to access more than 4GB of virtual and physical memory.

My Wi-Fi Technology from Intel

Intel My Wi-Fi Technology allows an Ultrabook or laptop to connect wirelessly to Wi-Fi-enabled devices such as printers, stereos, and so on.

States of Idleness

When the processor is idle, idle states (C-states) are used to save power. C0 is the operational state, which indicates that the CPU is performing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 is the second, and so on, with higher C-states requiring more power-saving actions.

Intel SpeedStep Technology has been improved

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is a cutting-edge method of enabling high performance while meeting mobile systems' power-conservation requirements.

In response to processor load, conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology expands on that architecture by employing design strategies such as Voltage and Frequency Separation, as well as Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Technologies for Thermal Monitoring

Thermal Monitoring Technologies, through a variety of thermal management features, protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure.

The temperature of the core is detected by an on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS), and thermal management features reduce package power consumption (and thus temperature, when necessary) to keep the system within normal operating limits.

Identity Protection Technology from Intel

Intel Identity Protection Technology is a built-in security token technology that helps provide a simple, tamper-resistant method for protecting online customer and business data from threats and fraud.

Intel IPT sends a hardware-based proof of a specific user's PC to websites, financial institutions, and network services, ensuring that it is not malware attempting to log in.

Intel IPT can play an important role in two-factor authentication solutions that protect your data.

AES Updated Instructions

AES-NI (Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions) are a set of instructions that allow for fast and secure data encryption and decryption.

AES-NI is useful for a variety of cryptographic applications, including bulk encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption.

Secure Key from Intel

Intel Secure Key is made up of a digital random number generator that generates truly random numbers in order to strengthen encryption algorithms.

OS Protection

OS Guard provides automatic "blanket" protection against privilege escalation attacks.

Disable Bit Execution

Disable should be executed. Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce vulnerability to viruses and malicious-code attacks, as well as prevent harmful software from executing and spreading on the server or network.

Technology to Prevent Theft

If your laptop is ever lost or stolen, Intel Anti-Theft Technology can help keep it safe and secure. Intel AT requires a service subscription from a service provider that supports Intel AT.
