http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors is quite
good here. As a rule of thumb, anything higher than 6000 will have VT,
anything below 6000 will not. Interesting exceptions are
Doesn't have VT: E7300, Q8200, Q8400, E8190
Does have VT: T5600, U2xxx, SU3xxx, Celeron 900 (?)
May have VT[1]: T5500, Q8300, E7400, E7500, E5300, E5400
Interestingly, when you look at the price list, you will see that
*all* processors that are not being obviously phased out (i.e. have
the same or higher price as a superior model) and carry a
Pentium or Core 2 name come with VT enabled.
This is very wrong:
- none of the Pentium, Celeron, Atom processors, even the latest ones,
come with VT
According to processorfinder, 3 out of the 8 Atoms come with VT. Some
Pentium Ds also do. Maybe some Celerons.
- none of the Core 2 Duo E7xxx and Core 2 Quad Q8xxx support VT
Most Core 2s do support VT.
Be very careful into what you buy, check processorfinder.intel.com.
Interestingly I found out that Intel will enable VT on a very small
number of Core 2 and Pentium processors on June 12:
That's in addition to currently supported processors.
