Intel Hyper-Threading Technology Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel HT Technology) delivers two processing threads per physical core. This allows highly threaded applications to complete tasks in parallel, resulting in faster performance. Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) builds upon the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization by adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. This technology enhances system security and reliability, while also improving the performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments. Intel TSX-NI Intel Transactional Synchronization Extensions New Instructions (Intel TSX-NI) are a set of instructions designed to improve multi-threaded performance scaling. By providing better control of locks in software, this technology makes parallel operations more efficient. Intel 64 Intel 64 architecture enables 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop, and mobile platforms when combined with supporting software. This architecture allows systems to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory, resulting in improved performance.
