Intel Wide Dynamic Execution -- This delivers more instructions per clock cycle, improving execution and energy efficiency. 'Every execution core is wider, allowing each core to complete up to four full instructions simultaneously using an efficient 14-stage pipeline,' said Kilroy.

Intel Advanced Digital Media Boost -- This executes 128-bit SSE, SSE2, and SSE3 instructions within only one cycle. Kilroy said that this doubles the execution speed for these instructions, which are used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.

Intel Intelligent Power Capability -- This includes features that further reduce power consumption by powering on individual logic subsystems only when required.
