Intel® Memory Protection Extensions (Intel® MPX) is a set of processor features which, with compiler, runtime library, and OS support, brings increased robustness to software. It checks pointer references whose compile time normal intentions are usurped at runtime due to buffer overflow.
Intel MPX may be available in most Intel® 6th/7th/8th/9th Generation processors. However 10th generation and newer processors on 10nm lithography no longer support this feature.
Some 10th generation mobile processors on 14nm lithography may still support Intel MPX.
The following steps will help you confirm if an Intel processor supports Intel MPX.
