Execution Unit
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

 Virtualization 
Technology 
Processor virtualization which when used in conjunction with Virtual Machine 
Monitor software enables multiple, robust independent software environments 
inside a single platform.

 VT-d
Intel
®
 Virtualization Technology (Intel
®
 VT) for Directed I/O. Intel VT-d is a 
hardware assist, under system software (Virtual Machine Manager or OS) 
control, for enabling I/O device virtualization. Intel VT-d also brings robust 
security by providing protection from errant DMAs by using DMA remapping, a 
key feature of Intel VT-d.

LVDS
Low Voltage Differential Signaling. A high speed, low power data transmission 
standard used for display connections to LCD panels.
NCTF
Non-Critical to Function. NCTF locations are typically redundant ground or non-
critical reserved, so the loss of the solder joint continuity at end of life conditions 
will not affect the overall product functionality.
