Intel® Data Protection Technology -- Secure Key and Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions {Intel® AES-NI}) 
No computer system can provide absolute security. Requires an enabled Intel® processor and software optimized for use of the technology. Consult your system manufacturer and/or 
software vendor for more information. 
Intel® Data Protection Technology -- Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) 
No computer system can provide absolute security. Requires an enabled Intel® processor, enabled chipset, firmware, software and may require a subscription with a capable service 
provider (may not be available in all countries). Intel assumes no liability for lost or stolen data and/or systems or any other damages resulting thereof. Consult your system or service 
provider for availability and functionality. 
Intel® Virtualization Technology – requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, and virtual machine monitor (VMM). Functionality, performance or other 
benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Consult your PC manufacturer. For 
more information, visit http://www.intel.com/go/virtualization. 
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

Optimization Notice 
Optimization Notice 
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations 
that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSE3 instruction 
sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any 
optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. 
Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. 
Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer 
to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction 
sets covered by this notice.
