Intel has introduced Virtualization Exception in Broadwell CPU to improve virtualization performance.
What VirtualBox team thinks of it? Useful? Is it available in VirtualBox 5.1 ?
Yet another Broadwell feature is TSX, transactional memory, which may or may not improve performance.
APIC-V + posted interrupts can improve your I/O APIC emulation even further?

Re: Broadwell CPU support - new features
It certainly could! But how many people have a CPU with this feature? Hint: It's Xeon only. It's actually been there since Haswell, and it is a rather nice feature, but unless you are in the tiny minority with a Haswell E or a Xeon, you don't have it. Desktop/laptop Skylakes don't have it either.Technologov wrote:APIC-V + posted interrupts can improve your I/O APIC emulation even further?
