Instruction Set

An "instruction set" refers to the basic set of commands and instructions that a microprocessor understands and can carry out. The value shown represents which of Intel’s instruction sets this processor is compatible with.

Idle States

Idle states (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operational state, meaning that the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 the second, and so on, where more power-saving actions are taken for numerically higher C-states.

Intel SpeedStep® Technology has been improved.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep® Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds on this architecture by using design strategies like separating changes in voltage and frequency and clock partitioning and recovery.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies

Thermal Monitoring Technologies protects the processor package and the system from thermal failure with a number of thermal management features.The temperature of the core is measured by a digital thermal sensor (DTS) on the die. When needed, the thermal management features reduce the power consumption of the package, which lowers the temperature.

Intel® Volume Management Device (VMD) gives NVMe-based solid state drives a common, reliable way to manage hot plug and LEDs.

Intel® Standard Manageability (ISM)

Intel® Standard Manageability is the management solution for Intel vPro® Essentials platforms. It is a subset of Intel® AMT and has out-of-band management over Ethernet and Wi-Fi, but no KVM or new life cycle management features.

Intel Control-Flow Enforcement Technology

CET: Intel Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (CET) helps protect against the misuse of legitimate code snippets through return-oriented programming (ROP) control-flow hijacking attacks.

New Intel® AES Instructions

The Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) are a set of instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption. AES-NI is useful for a wide range of cryptographic tasks, such as bulk encryption and decryption, authentication, generating random numbers, and authenticated encryption.

Secure Key

Intel® Secure Key is made up of a digital random number generator that makes numbers that are truly random to make encryption algorithms stronger.

Disable Bit Execute

Execute Disable Bit is a hardware-based security feature that can reduce exposure to viruses and malicious-code attacks and prevent harmful software from executing and propagating on the server or network.

Intel® Boot GuardTM

Intel® Device Protection Technology with Boot Guard helps keep viruses and other bad software from getting into the system's pre-OS environment.

Mode-based Execute Control can more reliably verify and enforce the integrity of kernel-level code.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

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

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

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