Introduction • Storage conditions - Refers to a non-operational state. The processor may be installed in a platform, in a tray, or loose. Processors may be sealed in packaging or exposed to free air. Under these conditions, processor lands should not be connected to any supply voltages, have any I/Os biased, or receive any clocks. Upon exposure to "free air"(i.e., unsealed packaging or a device removed from packaging material) the processor must be handled in accordance with moisture sensitivity labeling (MSL) as indicated on the packaging material. • Functional operation - Refers to normal operating conditions in which all processor specifications, including DC, AC, system bus, signal quality, mechanical and thermal are satisfied. • Execute Disable Bit - Execute Disable Bit allows memory to be marked as executable or non-executable, when combined with a supporting operating system. If code attempts to run in non-executable memory the processor raises an error to the operating system. This feature can prevent some classes of viruses or worms that exploit buffer over run vulnerabilities and can thus help improve the overall security of the system. See the Intel® Architecture Software Developer's Manual for more detailed information. • Intel® 64 Architecture- An enhancement to Intel's IA-32 architecture, allowing the processor to execute operating systems and applications written to take advantage of the Intel 64 architecture. Further details on Intel 64 architecture and programming model can be found in the Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology Software Developer Guide at http://developer.intel.com/technology/ 64bitextensions/. • Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology - Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology allows trade-offs to be made between performance and power consumptions, based on processor utilization. This may lower average power consumption (in conjunction with OS support). • Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) - A set of hardware enhancements to Intel server and client platforms that can improve virtualization solutions. Intel VT will provide a foundation for widely-deployed virtualization solutions and enables more robust hardware assisted virtualization solutions. More information can be found at: http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/ • Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) - A key element in Intel's safer computing initiative which defines a set of hardware enhancements that interoperate with an Intel TXT enabled OS to help protect against software-based attacks. Intel TXT creates a hardware foundation that builds on Intel's Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) to help protect the confidentiality and integrity of data stored/created on the client PC. • Platform Environment Control Interface (PECI) - A proprietary one-wire bus interface that provides a communication channel between the processor and chipset components to external monitoring devices.
