Either Intel-VT and AMD-V are an implementation of some processor instruction that allow operating system to work well with virtualization.

Basically, i think that, they are the different name of almost the same technology implementation. I don't think that could be a lot of difference between the two ..

Wikipedia states that they are x86 virtualization but are implemented differently: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization – mailq Oct 16 '11 at 23:20
