New features of Hyper-V Server 2008 R2:

Support for physical computers with up to 8 physical processors
Support for using up to 1TB of physical memory (virtual machines can use up to 64GB each)
Support for clustering
Support for live migration
Support for CPU Core Parking – Core Parking allows Windows and Hyper-V to consolidate processing onto the fewest number of possible processor cores, and suspends inactive processor cores.
Support for Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) in CPUs – On Intel processors this is called “EPT” while AMD calls it “NPT”. SLAT adds a second level of paging below the architectural x86/x64 paging tables in x86/x64 processors, providing an indirection layer from virtual machine memory access to the physical memory access. In many virtualization scenarios, hardware based SLAT support can offer performance improvements.
Support for VMQ, Jumbo Frames and other optimizations on networking
The ability to hot add / remove SCSI virtual hard disks
