Intel Core i9-10900KF Smart Processor 3.7 GHz

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically increases the processor's frequency as needed by leveraging thermal and power expansion to provide a speed boost when you need it, plus more power efficiency when you don't.

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) provides two processing threads per physical core. Highly threaded applications can do additional work in parallel, completing tasks faster.

Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x)
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) allows a hardware platform to function as multiple "virtual" platforms. It offers more manageability by limiting downtime and maintaining employee productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.

Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)
Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) builds on existing support for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium® processor virtualization (VT-i), adding new support for appliance virtualization of I/O. Intel VT-d can help end users increase the security and reliability of systems and also improve the performance of I/O devices in virtualized environments.

Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)
Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), also known as SLATs (second-level address translation), provides acceleration for memory-intensive virtualized applications. Extended page tables on Intel® Virtualization Technology platforms reduce memory and power consumption, which increases battery life through hardware optimization of page table management.

Intel® 64
Intel® 64 architecture enables 64-bit computing on server, workstation, desktop, and mobile platforms when coupled with supporting software.¹ To improve performance, Intel 64 architecture allows systems to address more than 4 GB of virtual memory and physics.

instruction set
An instruction set refers to the basic set of commands and instructions that a microprocessor recognizes and can execute. The displayed value represents the Intel instruction set that this Intel processor is compatible with.

Instruction set extensions
Instruction set extensions are additional instructions that can increase performance when the same operations are performed on multiple data objects. These can include SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) and AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions).

idle states
Idle states (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle. C0 is the operating state, which means the CPU is doing useful work. C1 is the first idle state, C2 is the second, and so on, where more power saving actions are taken to numerically higher C states.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of delivering high performance while also meeting the power-saving needs of portable systems. Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology alternates both voltage and frequency according to high and low levels in response to processor load. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology builds on the architecture using design strategies such as Separation between voltage and frequency changes, and Clock Partitioning and Recovery.

Thermal monitoring technologies
Thermal monitoring technologies protect the processor package and system from thermal failure through a variety of thermal management features. An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects core temperature, and thermal management features reduce package power consumption, and therefore temperature. when necessary to remain within normal operating limits.

Intel® Identity Protection Technology
Intel® Identity Protection Technology is a security token technology that provides tamper protection to protect access to your customers and online business data from fraud and scams. Intel® Identity Protection Technology is a hardware-based proof of the user's PC for websites, financial institutions and networked services; verifying that it is not malware trying to log in. Intel® Identity Protection Technology can be a key component in two-factor authentication solutions to protect your information in website and business logins.

Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost
Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost (Intel® TVB) is a feature that timely and automatically increases the clock frequency above single-core or multi-core Intel® Turbo Boost Technology frequencies, based on how low the processor is operating of its maximum temperature and if there is a turbo power budget available. Frequency gain and duration depend on workload, processor capabilities, and processor cooling solution.
