Virtualization Technology
Appearance
Virtualization Technology is the name of the mutually incompatible virtualization technologies from Intel and AMD, previously known by their respective codenames "Silvervale" and "Pacifica". They allow a single machine to run multiple operating systems at once without incurring significant emulation costs.
Intel's software based emulation codenamed "Vanderpool" was officially launched at the Intel Developer Forum Spring 2005. It is available on all Pentium D 9xx and Core Duo processors. The core based "Silvervale" which stands to compete with AMD's "Pacifica" will not be out until late 2006.
