+Technology (CMT), Memory Bandwidth Monitoring (MBM). These features provide
+information about utilization of shared resources. CMT monitors last level cache

+memory bandwidth. Local memory bandwidth (MBL) reports the bandwidth of
+accessing memory associated with the local socket. Remote memory bandwidth (MBR)
+reports the bandwidth of accessing the remote socket. Also this technology
+allows to monitor instructions per clock (IPC).
+Monitor events are hardware dependant. Monitoring capabilities are detected on
