Improved Performance for Threaded Software
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) makes efficient use of processor resources, enabling multiple threads to run on each core and increasing processor throughput. Available on Intel® Core™ and Intel® Xeon® processors, Intel HT Technology helps run demanding applications simultaneously, protect and manage systems, and provide headroom for business growth.»>Intel® Hyper Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)
Higher Performance When You Need It Most
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 accelerates processor and graphics performance by increasing the operating frequency when operating below specification limits. The maximum frequency varies depending on workload, hardware, software, and overall system configuration.»>Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Improve Responsiveness with Faster Data Access
With Intel® Smart Cache on the Intel® Core™ i5 processor, the shared cache is dynamically allocated to each processor core, based on workload.
This efficient, dual-core-optimized implementation increases the probability that each core can access data from the fast cache, significantly reducing latency to frequently used data and improving performance.»>Intel® Smart Cache
Added Security with Faster Data Encryption
The Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption for better performance and less risk from timing and cache-based attacks than table-based software implementations. Intel AES-NI supports usages such as standard key lengths, standard modes of operation, and even some nonstandard or future variants.»>Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI)
