Introduction

memory and I/O transactions as well as interrupt messages pass between the

processor and chipset over the FSB.

•

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 —

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 Intel 64 architecture. Further details on Intel 64 architecture and

programming model can be found in the 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)—

Intel

®

Trusted Execution

Technology (Intel

®

TXT) is a security technology by Intel and requires for operation

a computer system with Intel

®

Virtualization Technology, a Intel Trusted Execution

Technology-enabled Intel processor, chipset, BIOS, Authenticated Code Modules,

and an Intel or other Intel Trusted Execution Technology compatible measured

virtual machine monitor. In addition, Intel Trusted Execution Technology requires

the system to contain a TPMv1.2 as defined by the Trusted Computing Group and

specific software for some uses.

•

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.
