Intel® Trusted Execution Technology± (processor E8400)
For safer computing is a versatile set of hardware extensions to Intel® platforms, enabling security capabilities such as measured launch and protected execution. Hardware-based mechanisms help protect against software-based attacks to safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of data stored or created on embedded devices.
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)±
Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. Offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. Provides greater isolation and security between different applications and operating systems for added protection against corruption.
Intel® 64Φ
Supports 64-bit instructions, providing flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems. Access to larger physical memory space reduces load on the system and allows faster access to data from RAM instead of drive.
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 prevents some classes of viruses or worms that exploit buffer overrun vulnerabilities and helps improve system security.
Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS)
Measures maximum temperature on the die at any given time.
