Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by taking advantage of thermal and power headroom to provide a burst of speed when required, and increased energy efficiency when it is not.

Intel vPro Technology is a set of security and manageability capabilities built into the processor aimed at addressing four critical areas of IT security: 1) Threat management, including protection from rootkits, viruses, and malware; 2) Identity and website access point protection; 3) Confidential personal and business data protection; 4) Remote and local monitoring, remediation, and repair of PCs and workstations.

Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) builds on the existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor (VT-i) virtualization, adding new support for I/O-device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help end users improve the security and reliability of systems and enhance the performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.
