AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) With Rapid Virtualization Indexing Silicon feature-set enhancements designed to improve the performance, reliability, and security of existing and future virtualization environments by allowing virtualized applications with direct and rapid access to their allocated memory. Helps virtualization software to run more securely and efficiently enabling a better experience when dealing with virtual systems. AMD Cool'n'Quiet™ 2.0 Technology Enhanced power management features which automatically and instantaneously adjusts performance states and features based on processor performance requirements.Enables platform designs providing less heat and noise efficient performance and energy usage. AMD CoolCore™ Technology Helps users get more efficient performance by dynamically activating or turning off parts of the processor. Reduces processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor. For example, the memory controller can turn off the write logic when reading from memory, helping reduce system power. Works automatically without the need for drivers or BIOS enablement. Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle, saving energy without compromised performance. Dual Dynamic Power Management™ Helps improve platform efficiency by providing on demand memory performance while still allowing for decreased system power consumption. Enables more granular power management capabilities to reduce processor energy consumption. Separate power planes for cores and memory controller, for optimum power consumption and performance, creating more opportunities for power savings within the cores and memory controller.
