Datasheet
Storage 
Conditions
Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be installed in a 
platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or 
exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor landings should not 
be connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased or receive any 
clocks. Upon exposure to “free air” (i.e., unsealed packaging or a device 
removed from packaging material) the processor must be handled in 
accordance with moisture sensitivity labeling (MSL) as indicated on the 
packaging material.
Enhanced Intel 
SpeedStep® 
Technology
Technology that provides power management capabilities to laptops.
Processor Core
Processor core die with integrated L1 and L2 cache. All AC timing and signal 
integrity specifications are at the pads of the processor core.
Execute Disable 
Bit
The Execute Disable bit 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. See the Intel® 64 and IA-32 
Architectures Software Developer's Manuals
 for more detailed information.
Intel® 64 
Technology
64-bit memory extensions to the IA-32 architecture.
Intel® 
Virtualization 
Technology 
Processor virtualization which when used in conjunction with Virtual 
Machine Monitor software enables multiple, robust independent software 
environments inside a single platform.
Half ratio support 
(N/2) for Core to 
Bus ratio
Quad-core processor supports the N/2 feature which allows having 
fractional core to bus ratios. This feature provides the flexibility of having 
more frequency options and be able to have products with smaller 
frequency steps.
