   INVLPGB New instruction to use instead of inter-core 
   unterrupts to broadcast page invalidates, requires 
   OS/hypervisor support
   
   VAES / VPCLMULQDQ AVX2 Instructions for 
   encryption/decryption acceleration
   
   SEV-ES Limits the interruptions a malicious hypervisor may 
   inject into a VM/instance

   Memory Protection Keys Application control for access- 
   disable and write-disable settings without TLB management
  
   Process Context ID (PCID) Process tags in TLB to reduce 
   flush requirements
