Intel Virtualization Technology
Virtualization enhanced by Intel Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating
systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as
multiple “Virtual” systems.
◆
Active Processor Cores
This setting specifies the number of active processor cores.
◆
Execute Disable Bit
Intel’s Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious “buffer overflow” attacks
when combined with a supporting operating system. This functionality allows the processor to classify areas in
memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert
code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
◆
Intel SpeedStep
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and
core frequency, which can result in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat
production. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor
when queried.
