Intel Xeon E-2124 Coffee Lake 3.3 GHz (4.3 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 71W

Support for Intel® Optane™ Memory

Intel® Optane™ memory is a revolutionary new class of non-volatile memory that sits in between system memory and storage to accelerate system performance and responsiveness.

When combined with the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Driver, it seamlessly manages multiple tiers of storage while presenting one virtual drive to the OS, ensuring that frequently used data resides on the fastest tier of storage.

Intel® Optane™ memory necessitates specific hardware and software setup.

Intel Turbo Boost Technology

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to give you a burst of speed when you need it and increased energy efficiency when you don’t.

Eligibility for the Intel® vPro™ Platform

Intel® vPro™ Technology is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security:

1) Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware

2) Identity and web site access point protection

3) Confidential personal and business data protection

4) Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations

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. Intel VT-d can help end users improve the security and reliability of their systems and also improve the performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.

Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)

Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), provides acceleration for memory-intensive virtualized applications. Extended page tables in Intel® Virtualization Technology platforms reduce the memory and power overhead costs and increase battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.

Intel® TSX-NI

Transactional Synchronization Extensions from Intel®The New Instructions (Intel® TSX-NI) are a set of instructions focused on multi-threaded performance scaling. This technology helps make parallel operations more efficient via improved control of locks in software.

Intel® 64

The Intel® 64 architecture delivers 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop, and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. ¹ The Intel 64 architecture improves performance by allowing systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory.

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.

Instruction Set Extensions

Instruction Set Extensions are additional instructions that can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).

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 upon that architecture using design strategies such as separation between voltage and frequency changes and clock partitioning and recovery.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies

Thermal Monitoring Technologies, through a variety of thermal management features, protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure. An on-die digital thermal sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature, and the thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required in order to remain within normal operating limits.
