Intel® AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) is a set of instructions for fast and secure encryption and decryption of data. AES-NI are valuable components for cryptographic applications, such as mass encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authentication encryption.

The advanced Intel SpeedStep® technology is an advanced functionality needed for mobile devices that combines high performance with the lowest possible energy consumption. The traditional Intel SpeedStep® technology adjusts voltage and frequency simultaneously between high and low values based on processor load. The advanced Intel SpeedStep® technology builds on this architecture and employs design strategies such as separating voltage and frequency changes, as well as clock partitioning and recovery.

With Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x), a hardware platform can be utilized as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers improved manageability through reduced downtime and maintains productivity by shifting computing processes into separate partitions.
