Which CPUs support Intel - VT or AMD - V  ? Either one is needed to allow installation of Windows 7 XP Mode.
 

AMD virtualization (AMD-V)

AMD Phenom CPU die

AMD markets its virtualization extensions to the 64-bit x86 architecture as AMD Virtualization, abbreviated AMD-V. It is still referred to[by whom?] as "Pacifica", the AMD-internal project code name.

On May 23, 2006, AMD released the Athlon 64 ("Orleans"), the Athlon 64 X2 ("Windsor") and the Athlon 64 FX ("Windsor") as the first AMD processors to support this technology.

AMD-V capability also features on Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2 family of processors with "F" or "G" stepping on socket AM2 (not socket 939), Turion 64 X2, and Opteron 2nd generation[2] and 3rd-generation[3], Phenom and Phenom II processors. Only Sempron processors except Sable and Huron do not include support for AMD-V.

Beginning with the Barcelona line, AMD Opteron CPUs support a hardware virtualizaton technology called Rapid Virtualisation Indexing, later adopted by Intel as Extended Page Tables (EPT).

Intel Virtualization Technology for x86 (Intel VT-x)

Previously codenamed "Vanderpool", VT-x represents Intel's technology for virtualization on the x86 platform. Intel includes Extended Page Tables (EPT),[4] a technology for page-table virtualization,[5] in the Nehalem architecture.[6][7]

As of 2009 not all recent Intel processors support VT-x - Intel uses the feature to segment its market.[8] For a complete and up-to-date list see the Intel website.[9] The following Intel processors include support for VT-x:[10]

Intel Core i7 (Bloomfield) CPU
  • Pentium 4 662 and 672
  • Pentium Extreme Edition 955 and 965 (not Pentium 4 Extreme Edition with HT)
  • Pentium D 920-960 except 945, 935, 925, 915
  • Core Duo T2300, T2400, T2500, T2600, T2700 (Yonah)
  • Core 2 Duo E6300, E6400, E6320, E6420, E6540, E6550, E6600, E6700, E6750, E6850 (Conroe)
  • Core 2 Duo E5400, E7600, E8200, E8300, E8400, E8500, E8600 and some versions of the E7400 and E7500 (Wolfdale)
  • Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500, T5600, T6570, T7100, T7200, T7250, T7300, T7400, T7500, T7600, T7600G, T7700, T7800 (Merom)
  • Mobile Core 2 Duo SU9300, SU9400, SU9600, P7370, P8400, P8600, P8700, P8800, P9500, P9600, P9700, T8100, T8300, T9300, T9400, T9500, T9600, T9800, T9900 (Penryn)
  • Core 2 Quad Q6600, Q6700 (Kentsfield)
  • Core 2 Quad Q8400, Q8400S, Q9300, Q9400, Q9400S, Q9450, Q9550, Q9550S, Q9650 and some versions of the Q8300 (Yorkfield)
  • Core 2 Extreme X6800 (Conroe XE)
  • Core 2 Extreme QX6700, QX6800, QX6850 (Kentsfield XE)
  • Core 2 Extreme QX9650, QX9770, QX9775 (Yorkfield XE)
  • Xeon 3300 and +, 5000, 7000 series
  • Atom Z520, Z530, Z540, Z550 (Silverthorne)
  • all Intel Core i7 processors
  • all Intel Core i5 processors
  • Pentium Dual-Core E6300, E6500 and some versions of the E5300 and E5400*
  • Celeron E3200, E3300, E3400 (it will be launched at 2010)


Note: If unsure whether an Intel processor supports Intel VT-x or not, check the Intel Processor Spec Finder for official information.


Important: Even if some models seem to support Intel VT, not all processors of same model need do so (different sSpec#). Example: Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 seems to support Intel VT [1], but of the four models of this processor,[11] only one (SL9U8) supports Intel VT.

AMD Virtualization (AMD-V™) Technology 

AMD Virtualization (AMD-V™) Technology is a set of hardware extensions to the x86 system architecture that allows you to better utilize your resources, which make your servers, clients, and datacenters more effective.  AMD-V™ simplifies existing software only virtualization solutions by reducing and sometimes eliminating the burden of trapping and emulating instructions executed within a guest operating system.

Powering ultrathin notebooks to blade servers, all AMD Athlon™, AMD Phenom™, AMD Phenom II, AMD Turion™ and AMD Opteron™ processors shipped by AMD will be able to use the AMD-V™ feature, and subsequently benefit from Windows® XP Mode in Windows® 7 

Opteron™ processor  Logo

AMD Opteron™ processors with AMD Virtualization technology

HyperTransport™ Technology leverages the AMD Opteron™ processor with Direct Connect Architecture to provide fast and efficient memory handling, which is a must-have for memory intensive applications like virtualization. The combined effects of Direct Connect Architecture, an integrated memory controller, HyperTransport™ Technology, and AMD-V™ Technology with Rapid Virtualization Indexing help to streamline your datacenter and maximize your IT investment - reduce power consumption, support more users, more transactions, and more resource-intensive applications and achieve higher levels of efficiency and utilization in your virtual environment.

You need a server platform that can provide a robust and scalable environment for virtualization while maintaining power efficiency.

  • Unmatched Memory Bandwidth and Scalability - Direct Connect Architecture allows more virtual machines (VMs) to be hosted per server and more users and transactions per virtual machines
  • Rapid Virtualization Indexing (RVI) - Helps accelerate the performance of many virtualized applications by enabling hardware-based VM memory management.
  • Enhanced Power Management - Manages power consumption so that you don’t waste energy during low utilization cycles
  • Tagged TLB - Hardware features that facilitate efficient switching between VMs for better application responsiveness
  • AMD-V™ Extended Migration - Hardware feature that helps virtualization software enable live migration of virtual machines between all available AMD Opteron™ processor generations.
  • Create one or more virtualization pools across all your AMD Opteron processor based servers:
