Intel Trusted Execution Technology
Intel Trusted Execution Technology enhances the security of PCs. It includes a set of hardware extensions for Intel processors and chipsets that provide additional security features for the digital office platform, such as secure booting of system programs and the operating system, as well as running applications in a protected area. This creates an environment where applications can run in their own isolated space, separate from all other software on the system.
Intel Directed I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d)
Intel Directed I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d) continues the existing support for virtualization solutions for IA-32 (VT-x) and Itanium processor systems (VT-i) and expands it with new support for I/O device virtualization. Intel VT-d can help users enhance the security and reliability of their systems.

The two completely different approaches of AMD and Intel are only partially successful. Intel's Core i9-12900KS is brazenly overpriced compared to the extra performance it offers, a clear candidate for users who only want to buy the top model on principle. AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D costs a little more in percentage terms compared to the standard variant, but also offers more benefits to gamers with an...
Even without measurements with additional background jobs, the Core i9-12900K jumps onto the winner's podium. The new CPU from Intel brings an enormous amount of computing power.
Even without measurements with additional background jobs, the Core i9-12900K jumps onto the winner's podium. The new top CPU from Intel brings an enormous amount of computing power - under Windows 11.
Well done: Intel's new Core i5-12600K and Core i9-12900K CPUs are far more than 30 per cent faster than their predecessors. The i9 even beats AMD's 750 euro Ryzen 9 5950X, but it can't compete with the wickedly expensive AMDTR 3990X.
