Introduction
• Enhanced Intel Technology SpeedStep
®
 Technology — Enhanced Intel 
Technology 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).

 Virtualization Technology (Intel
® 
VT) — Intel Virtualization Technology 
provides silicon-based functionality that works together with compatible Virtual 
Machine Monitor (VMM) software to improve upon software-only solutions. Because 
this virtualization hardware provides a new architecture upon which the operating 
system can run directly, it removes the need for binary translation. Thus, it helps 
eliminate associated performance overhead and vastly simplifies the design of the 
VMM, in turn allowing VMMs to be written to common standards and to be more 
robust. See the Intel
®
 Virtualization Technology Specification for the IA-32 Intel
®
 
Architecture for more details.
