AMD(TM)
HVM works with all CPUs featuring the AMD-V (SVM) extension. On a running system look for svm in the output of Linux' /proc/cpuinfo. The desktop processors must be for the "socket AM2" (or above) with support for DDR2 memory and K8 Rev. F2 stepping and above (F3,G1,G2,Tri- and Quadcores) that are not Sempron brand. Server processors supporting SVM include all Opterons for Socket F (aka Socket L1) with 4 digit product numbers (Opteron 1210, 2210, 8210, ...), again here with support for DDR2 memory. Examples of supported processors are:
- all AMD Athlon™ 64 processors above 4000+
- all AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 processors above 4800+
- all AMD Athlon™ X2 processors
- all AMD Athlon™ X2 BE, LE, EE processors
- all AMD Phenom™ X3 and X4 processors
Notebook processors that are branded Turion 64 X2 and Turion Ultra
- Turion™ 64 X2 TL-60
- Turion™ 64 X2 TL-56
- Turion™ 64 X2 TL-52
- Turion™ 64 X2 TL-50
- Turion™ Ultra ZM-80, ZM-82, ZM-86
AMD Opteron™ with DDR2
- 1000 Series
- 2000 Series
- 8000 Series

Some vendors disable the AMD-V extension in the BIOS on some systems, sometimes it can be re-enabled in the BIOS setup.

Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and for some uses, certain platform software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations. Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are currently in development.
