MAY OCCUR.
Intel may make changes to specifications and product descriptions at any time, without notice. Designers must not rely on the
absence or characteristics of any features or instructions marked “reserved” or “undefined.” Intel reserves these for future
definition and shall have no responsibility whatsoever for conflicts or incompatibilities arising from future changes to them. The
information here is subject to change without notice. Do not finalize a design with this information.
The products described in this document may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to
deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.
Contact your local Intel sales office or your distributor to obtain the latest specifications and before placing your product order.
All products, platforms, dates, and figures specified are preliminary based on current expectations, and are subject to change
without notice. All dates specified are target dates, are provided for planning purposes only and are subject to change.
This document contains information on products in the design phase of development. Do not finalize a design with this information.
Revised information will be published when the product is available. Verify with your local sales office that you have the latest
datasheet before finalizing a design.
Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting
operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
Technology; See the Processor Spec Finder or contact your Intel representative for more information.
64-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.
No computer system can provide absolute security under all conditions. Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology (Intel
®
TXT) requires
a computer system with Intel
®
Virtualization Technology, an Intel TXT-enabled processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code
Modules and an Intel TXT-compatible measured launched environment (MLE). The MLE could consist of a virtual machine monitor,
an OS or an application. In addition, Intel TXT requires the system to contain a TPM v1.2, as defined by the Trusted Computing
Group and specific software for some uses. For more information, see
http://www.intel.com/technology/security/
Intel
®
Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel
®
processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor
(VMM) and, for some uses, certain computer system 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.
Intel
®
Active Management Technology requires the computer system to have an Intel
®
AMT-enabled chipset, network hardware
and software, as well as connection with a power source and a corporate network connection. Setup requires configuration by the
purchaser and may require scripting with the management console or further integration into existing security frameworks to
enable certain functionality. It may also require modifications of implementation of new business processes. With regard to
notebooks, Intel AMT may not be available or certain capabilities may be limited over a host OS-based VPN or when connecting
wirelessly, on battery power, sleeping, hibernating or powered off. For more information, see
http://www.intel.com/technology/
platform-technology/intel-amt/
Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost Technology capability. Intel Turbo Boost
Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your PC
manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel Turbo Boost Technology.For more information, see http://www.intel.com/
technology/turboboost.
Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family,
not across different processor families. See
