 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.
Intel® TXT Intel® Trusted Execution Technology
Intel® 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.
Intel® VT-d Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) for Directed I/O. Intel VT-d is a 
hardware assist, under system software (Virtual Machine Manager or OS) 
control, for enabling I/O device virtualization. Intel VT-d also brings robust 
security by providing protection from errant DMAs by using DMA remapping, a 
key feature of Intel VT-d.

Integrated Heat Spreader 
(IHS)
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.
Jitter Any timing variation of a transition edge or edges from the defined Unit  
Interval (UI).
IOV I/O Virtualization
LGA2011-0 Socket The LGA2011-0 land FCLGA12 package mates with the system board through 
this surface mount, LGA2011-0 contact socket.
LLC Last Level Cache
LRDIMM Load Reduced Dual In-line Memory Module
NCTF Non-Critical to Function: NCTF locations are typically redundant ground or non-
critical reserved, so the loss of the solder joint continuity at end of life conditions 
will not affect the overall product functionality.
NEBS Network Equipment Building System. NEBS is the most common set of 
environmental design guidelines applied to telecommunications equipment in the 
United States.
PCH Platform Controller Hub. The next generation chipset with centralized platform 
capabilities including the main I/O interfaces along with display connectivity, 
audio features, power management, manageability, security and storage 
features.
PCU Power Control Unit
PCI Express* 3.0 The third generation PCI Express* specification that operates at twice the speed 
of PCI Express* 2.0 (8 Gb/s); however, PCI Express* 3.0 is completely backward 
compatible with PCI Express* 1.0 and 2.0.
PCI Express 3 PCI Express* Generation 3.0
PCI Express 2 PCI Express* Generation 2.0
