Datasheet

The processor has many permutations of possibly concurrently operating modes. Care 
should be taken (Hardware and Software) to disable unused sections of the silicon 
when this can be done with sufficiently low performance impact. Refer to 

 and 

the ACPI Specification, Rev3.0 for more details.

The processor supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology), 
which 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 via the BIOS and requires 
operating system support.

Intel recommends enabling Hyper-Threading Technology with Microsoft Windows 
Vista*, Microsoft Windows* XP Professional/Windows* XP Home, and disabling Hyper-
Threading Technology via the BIOS for all previous versions of Windows operating 
systems. For more information on Hyper-Threading Technology, see http://
