    • Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
    • Intel 64 Architecture
    • Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology
    • Intel SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and SSE4

    To use the Intel Processor Identification Utility, follow the procedure below:

    1. Download and install the Intel Processor Identification Utility from the Intel Web site at https://www.intel.com/support/processors/tools/piu/
      • Follow the on-screen instructions.

        NOTE: If the utility does not open automatically, click the Start button, click All Programs, click the Intel Processor ID Utility folder and then click Intel Processor ID Utility.

      • In the Intel Processor Identification Utility window, click the CPU Technologies tab and then evaluate the report to determine which Intel technologies are supported by your CPU.
