Legal Lines and Disclaimers
UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY INTEL, THE INTEL PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED NOR INTENDED FOR ANY
APPLICATION IN WHICH THE FAILURE OF THE INTEL PRODUCT COULD CREATE A SITUATION WHERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH MAY OCCUR.
Intel may make changes to specifications and product descriptions at any time, without notice. Designers must not rely on the
absence or characteristics of any features or instructions marked “reserved” or “undefined.” Intel reserves these for future
definition and shall have no responsibility whatsoever for conflicts or incompatibilities arising from future changes to them. The
information here is subject to change without notice. Do not finalize a design with this information.
The products described in this document may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to
deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
Contact your local Intel sales office or your distributor to obtain the latest specifications and before placing your product order.
Intel® Active Management Technology requires the platform to have an Intel® AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware and
software, connection with a power source and a network connection.
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. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an
Intel® 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. 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
