995 million
15. memory channels
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
16. L3 cache
A larger L3 cache results in faster CPU and system-wide performance.
17. Supports hardware-assisted virtualization
It is easier to obtain better performance when using virtualization if it is hardware-assisted.
