Intel Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases a processor's frequency as needed by utilising temperature and power reserves to provide more speed when needed and more power efficiency otherwise. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enables two processing threads per physical core. Applications with many threads can complete more tasks in parallel and finish tasks earlier. Intel Virtualisation Technology (VT-x) allows one hardware platform to be used as multiple "virtual" platforms. It provides improved manageability by reducing downtime and maintaining productivity by moving compute operations to separate partitions. Intel Directed-I/O Virtualisation Technology (VT-d) continues the existing.
