Hyper-Threading Technology requires a computer system with a processor supporting HT Technology and an HT Technology
enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. For
more information including details on which processors support HT Technology, see
http://www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm.
Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting
operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor
(VMM) and, for some uses, certain computer system software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary
depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible
with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost
Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your PC
manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see
http://www.intel.com/technology/turboboost/.
64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device
drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software
configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
Δ
Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor
family, not across different processor families. See

C is a two-wire communications bus/protocol developed by Philips. SMBus is a subset of the I
2
C bus/protocol and was developed
by Intel. Implementations of the I
2
C bus/protocol may require licenses from various entities, including Philips Electronics N.V. and
North American Philips Corporation.
