Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-
x) and AMD SVM Support 
Intel VT-x Support 
Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x), which is incorporated in the newest Intel processors, 
provides enhancements implemented into processor architecture that are specially designed for 
platforms running multiple operating systems. VT-enabled processors facilitate more efficient 
virtual machine partitioning and more precise virtual processor simulation. An extended set of 
processor instructions performs on a hardware level tasks previously realized programmatically, 
thus reducing virtualization overhead and improving virtual machine performance, security and 
stability. To learn more about Virtualization Technology see the Intel site 
http://www.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/.  
Intel Virtualization Technology is fully supported by Parallels Workstation. If Parallels 
Workstation detects a VT-enabled CPU, support is automatically turned on. VT-x support can 
be manually enabled or disabled through a virtual machine configuration setting available in the 
VM Flags (page 108) section of General Options. If you run a guest OS with VT-x enabled, the 
Virtualization mode flag in the About Parallels Workstation screen shows Intel VT-x. See the 
More Information (page 143) section of the About Parallels Workstation screen. 
AMD SVM Support 
Security and Virtual Machine (SVM) architecture, which is incorporated in the newest AMD 
processors, provides enhancements implemented into processor architecture that are specially 
designed for platforms running multiple operating systems. SVM processors facilitate more 
efficient virtual machine partitioning and more precise virtual processor simulation. An 
extended set of processor instructions performs on a hardware level tasks previously realized 
programmatically, thus reducing virtualization overhead and improving virtual machine 
performance, security and stability. To learn more about SVM see the AMD site 
http://enterprise.amd.com/us-en/Solutions/Consolidation/virtualization.aspx.  
Security and Virtual Machine (SVM) architecture is fully supported by Parallels Workstation. If 
Parallels Workstation detects a SVM-enabled CPU, support is automatically turned on. SVM 
support can be manually enabled or disabled through a virtual machine configuration setting 
available in the VM Flags (page 108) section of General Options. If you run a guest OS with 
SVM enabled, the Virtualization mode flag in the About Parallels Workstation screen shows AMD 
SVM
. See the More Information (page 143) section of the About Parallels Workstation screen.
