Intel® Pentium® Processor Extreme Edition Features
Features Benefits
Hyper-Threading Technology† Enables you to run multiple demanding applications at the same time.
Execute Disable Bit** Can improve protection against malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when properly enabled with a supporting operating system.
Intel 64 Φ Provides flexibility for future applications that support both 32-bit and 64-bit computing.
Dual-Core Two physical cores in one processor support better system responsiveness and multi-tasking capability than a comparable single core processor.
Intel® Virtualization TechnologyΦ Intel® Virtualization Technology enables one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. For businesses, it offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, it allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members looking to use the same platform simultaneously. (supported only on 900 sequence).
Δ Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See page for details.
† Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology) requires a computer system with an Intel® 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. See www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm for more information including details on which processors support HT Technology.
Φ Intel® Virtualization Technology and Intel 64 require a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device drivers and applications designed for these features. Performance will vary depending on your configuration. Contact your vendor for more information.
