Introduction
security of the system. See the Intel
®
 64 and IA-32 Architecture Software 
Developer's Manual for more detailed information.
• Intel
®
 64 Architecture— An enhancement to the Intel IA-32 architecture, 
allowing the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to 
take advantage of the Intel 64 architecture. Further details on Intel 64 architecture 
and programming model are in the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology Software 
Developer Guide at http://developer.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/.
• Enhanced Intel
®
 SpeedStep
®
 Technology — Enhanced Intel SpeedStep 
Technology allows trade-offs to be made between performance and power 
consumptions, based on processor utilization. This may lower average power 
consumption (in conjunction with OS support).
• Intel
®
 Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
 VT) — A set of hardware 
enhancements to Intel server and client platforms that can improve virtualization 
solutions. Intel VT provides a foundation for widely-deployed virtualization 
solutions and enables more robust hardware assisted virtualization solutions. More 
information is at: http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/
• Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) — A proprietary one-wire bus 
interface that provides a communication channel between the processor and 
chipset components to external monitoring devices.
