Processor E5-2600 v4 Product Family 4
An excellent foundation for secure multi-tenancy
Intel® Platform Protection Technology with:
• Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) enables IT to
establish trusted pools of virtualized resources for stronger
security and compliance in multi-tenant virtual and cloud
environments
• OS Guard (Supervisor Mode Execution Protection) and new
Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) protects
against escalation of privilege attacks that attempt to gain
control of the platform, execute malware, or otherwise
compromise privileged OS components
Industry-leading energy-efficiency
• Intel’s industry-leading 14 nm process technology supports
greater functionality, higher density, and lower power
consumption than the prior manufacturing process

• Intel® Intelligent Power technology dynamically manages
CPU and memory energy states to minimize power
consumption without slowing performance
• Per-core P states dynamically and independently regulate
power in each core for energy-ecient processing
Data center extended ingredients
With increasing demands on IT to support a broader range
of workloads and address emerging constraints in the data
center, Intel oers a range of products designed to provide
greater performance and exibility with improved density
and utilization.
