system is able to transition between voltage and frequency states more often,
providing improved power/performance balance.
Clock Partitioning and Recovery. The bus clock continues running during state
transition, even when the core clock and Phase-Locked Loop are stopped, which allows
logic to remain active. The core clock is also able to restart more quickly under

Advanced Vector Extensions 2 (Intel
®
AVX2)
Intel
®
Advanced Vector Extensions 2.0 (Intel
®
AVX2) is the latest expansion of the Intel
instruction set. Intel
®
AVX2 extends the Intel
®
Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel
®
AVX) with
256-bit integer instructions, floating-point fused multiply add (FMA) instructions and gather
operations. The 256-bit integer vectors benefit math, codec, image and digital signal
processing software. FMA improves performance in face detection, professional imaging, and
high performance computing. Gather operations increase vectorization opportunities for many
applications. In addition to the vector extensions, this generation of Intel processors adds new
bit manipulation instructions useful in compression, encryption, and general purpose software.

Node Manager 3.0
Intel
®
Node Manager 3.0 enables the PTAS-CUPS (Power Thermal Aware Scheduling –
Compute Usage Per Second) feature of the Intel
®
Server Platform Services 3.0 Intel
®
ME FW.
This is in essence a grouping of separate platform functionalities that provide Power, Thermal,
and Utilization data that together offer an accurate, real time characterization of server
workload. These functionalities include the following:
Computation of Volumetric Airflow
New synthesized Outlet Temperature sensor
CPU, memory, and I/O utilization data (CUPS)
This PTASCUPS data, can then be used in conjunction with the Intel
®
Server Platform Services
3.0 Intel
®
Node Manager power monitoring/controls and a remote management application
(such as the Intel
®
Data Center Manager [Intel
®
DCM]) to create a dynamic, automated,
closed-loop data center management and monitoring system.

Secure Key
The Intel
®
64 and IA-32 Architectures instruction RDRAND and its underlying Digital Random
Number Generator (DRNG) hardware implementation. Among other things, the Digital Random
Number Generator (DRNG) using the RDRAND instruction is useful for generating high-quality
keys for cryptographic protocols.

OS Guard
Protects the operating system (OS) from applications that have been tampered with or hacked
by preventing an attack from being executed from application memory. Intel
®
OS Guard also
protects the OS from malware by blocking application access to critical OS vectors.
