[. . . ] Display the support information of CPU C7 state feature. EIST Technology CPU C3 state CPU C6 state CPU C7 state Cache Information L1 Data Cache / L1 Code Cache / L2 Cache / L3 Cache Hyper-threading Displays the technical specifications for the installed processor. The Intel Hyper Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or more separate threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-threaded software applications can execute their threads, thereby improving performance. - 43 - BIOS Setup Active Processor Cores (Note) Overclocking lock Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores. When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum COUID input values to 03h when queried, even if the processor suppports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried. When enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages. When disabled, the processor will not restrict code execution in any memory area. Select whether to enable the Intel Virtualization Technology function. VT allows a single platform to run multiple operating systems in independent partitions. Select whether to enable the speculative prefetch unit of the processor. Options available: Turbo Performance/Max Non-Turbo Performance/Max bettery/Turbo Performance. Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Default setting is Enabled. Limit CPUID Maximum Execute Disable Bit Intel Virtualization Technology Hardware Prefetcher Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch CPU AES Boot performance mode EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about Intel CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website. - 44 BIOS Setup Turbo Mode When this item is enabled, tje processor will automatically ramp up the clock speed of 1-2 of its processing cores to improve its performance. When this item is disabled, the processor will not overclock any of its core. Default setting is Enabled. Energy Performance Platform power limit lock CPU C State Energy Performance Bias is Intel CPU function. The larger value in MSR_ENERGY_PERFORMANCE_BIAS register, CPU will save more power but lose more performance. Note: This register will be changed by OS too if OS support it like Windows 2008 or newer Linux. Options available: Performance : Write value 0 into MSR_ENERGY_PERFORMANCE_BIAS Balanced Performance: Write value 7 into MSR_ENERGY_PERFORMANCE_BIAS Balanced Energy: Write value 11 into MSR_ENERGY_PERFORMANCE_BIAS Energy Efficient: Write value 15 into MSR_ENERGY_PERFORMANCE_BIAS Default setting is Performance. Default setting is Enabled. Enhanced C1 state Enable/Disable CPU C State feature. [. . . ] Options available: Yes/No. Discard Changes and Exit Save Options Save Changes Restore Defaults Saves changes made in the BIOS setup. Options available: Yes/No. Boot Override Loads the default settings for all BIOS setup parameters. If you are using low-speed memory chips or other kinds of low-performance components and you choose to load these settings, the system might not function properly. UEFI: Built-in in EFI Shell Press <Enter> on this item to Launch EFI Shell from filesystem device. [. . . ]
