Intel® Run Sure Technology, includes advanced RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability) features that deliver high reliability and platform resiliency, to maximize uptime of servers running mission-critical workloads.
Intel® Total Memory Encryption
TME – Total Memory Encryption (TME) helps protect data against exposure via physical attack on memory, such as cold-boot attacks.
Max # of UPI Links
Intel® Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) links are a high speed, point-to-point interconnect bus between the processors, delivering increased bandwidth and performance over Intel® QPI.
# of AVX-512 FMA Units
Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512), new instruction set extensions, delivering ultra-wide (512-bit) vector operations capabilities, with up to 2 FMAs (Fused Multiply Add instructions), to accelerate performance for your most demanding computational tasks.
Intel® Resource Director Technology (Intel® RDT)
Intel® RDT brings new levels of visibility and control over how shared resources such as last-level cache (LLC) and memory bandwidth are used by applications, virtual machines (VMs) and containers.
Intel® Speed Select Technology - Performance Profile
A capability to configure the processor to run at three distinct operating points.
Intel® Speed Select Technology - Base Frequency
Enables users to increase guaranteed base frequency on certain cores (high priority cores) in exchange for lower base frequency on remaining cores (low priority cores). Improves overall performance by boosting frequency on critical cores.
Intel® Volume Management Device (VMD)
Intel® Volume Management Device (VMD) provides a common, robust method of hot plug and LED management for NVMe-based solid state drives.
Intel® Optane™ Persistent Memory Supported
Intel® Optane™ persistent memory is a revolutionary tier of non-volatile memory that sits between memory and storage to provide large, affordable memory capacity that is comparable to DRAM performance. Delivering large system-level memory capacity when combined with traditional DRAM, Intel Optane persistent memory is helping transform critical memory constrained workloads – from cloud, databases, in-memory analytics, virtualization, and content delivery networks.
Mode-based Execute Control (MBEC)
Mode-based Execute Control can more reliably verify and enforce the integrity of kernel level code.
Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions
Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions (Intel® TSX) are a set of instructions that add hardware transactional memory support to improve performance of multi-threaded software.
