According to rumours Intel's Core Duo processor has some features that aren't being exposed to the consumer,
Hexus reports. One of them is Intel's EM64T 64-bit technology:
And it transpires that Sossaman supports iAMD64, er, sorry, 'EM64T', symmetric multi-processing with another Sossaman Xeon, and hardware virtualisation. Intel's implementation of the 64-bit extension to x86, SMP and hardware VT are all missing from the official specs of Intel Core Duo consumer processors, despite Yonah and Sossaman being the same thing.
