⁷ Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain platform 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.

⁸64-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. Performance and competitive information is accurate at time of document publication. For latest competitive and performance information, visit www.intel.com/performance.

⁹ Backward compatibility for live VM migration also exists with current dual-core Intel® Core™ microarchitecture products (Xeon 5100 and Xeon 3000) and forward compatibility with future dual and multi-core processors. Contact your preferred VMM vendor for support requirements.
