Execute Disable Bit
The 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
overrun vulnerabilities and can thus help improve the overall security of the system.

detailed information.
Functional Operation
Refers to the normal operating conditions in which all processor specifications,
including DC, AC, system bus, signal quality, mechanical, and thermal are satisfied.
IHS
Integrated Heat Spreader. A component of the processor package used to enhance
the thermal performance of the package. Component thermal solutions interface with
the processor at the IHS surface.
IIO
The Integrated I/O Controller. An I/O controller that is integrated in the processor
die.
IMC
The Integrated Memory Controller. A Memory Controller that is integrated in the
processor die.

Turbo Boost
Technology
Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology is a way to automatically run the processor core faster
than the marked frequency if the part is operating under power, temperature, and
current specifications limits of the Thermal Design Power (TDP). This results in
increased performance of both single and multi-threaded applications.

Virtualization
Technology (Intel
®
VT)
Processor virtualization, which when used in conjunction with Virtual Machine Monitor
software, enables multiple robust independent software environments inside a single
platform.
