KVM doesn't work at all unless you have these extensions. However you
can still happen to run the /usr/bin/qemu-kvm on these machines - it's
just that it falls back to using QEMU (ie. pure software)
virtualization.
All new Intel & AMD processors support this anyway.
In the server space: Yes
In the desktop space: Nope, a lot of those CPUs with an IMHO good
price/performance ratio don't have Vanderpool/Pacifica right now; even
some of the newest one don't have it.
For example go to
http://compare.intel.com/pcc/default.aspx?familyID=1&culture=en-US
and pick interesting Desktop-Processors like a Pentium Dual Core E2220,
a Core 2 Duo E4700, a Core 2 Duo E7300 and a Core 2 Duo E8600. The
latter two for example are both quite new, but only one of those has
"Intel Virtualization Technology".
