¹ Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX) are designed to achieve higher throughput to certain integer and floating-point operations. Due to
varying processor power characteristics, utilizing AVX instructions may cause a) some parts to operate at less than the rated frequency and b) some
parts with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 to not achieve any or maximum turbo frequencies. Performance varies depending on hardware,
software, and system configuration and you should consult your system manufacturer for more information. *Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions
refers to Intel® AVX, Intel® AVX2 or Intel® AVX-512. For more information on Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, visit http://www.intel.com/go/turbo.
² Actual number of lanes available may vary by processor number and system configuration. Please refer to the specifications corresponding to the
processor number of interest or consult your system vendor for more information
³ Intel technologies’ features and benefits depend on system configuration and may require enabled hardware, software or service activation.
Performance varies depending on system configuration. No computer system can be absolutely secure. Check with your system manufacturer or
retailer or learn more at www.intel.com.
⁴ Altering clock frequency or voltage may damage or reduce the useful life of the processor and other system components, and may reduce system
stability and performance. Product warranties may not apply if the processor is operated beyond its specifications. Check with the manufacturers of
