The x2APIC extensions are made available to system software by enabling the local 
x2APIC unit in the “x2APIC” mode. To benefit from x2APIC capabilities, a new 
Operating System and a new BIOS are both needed, with special support for the 
x2APIC mode.
The x2APIC architecture provides backward compatibility to the xAPIC architecture and 
forward extendibility for future Intel platform innovations.
Note:
Intel x2APIC technology may not be available on all processor SKUs.
