2.6.1 CPU Configuration
TheitemsinthismenushowtheCPU-relatedinformationthattheBIOSautomatically
detects.
TheitemsshowninsubmenumaybedifferentduetotheCPUyouinstalled.
Hyper-threading [Enabled]
TheIntelHyper-ThreadingTechnologyallowsahyper-threadingprocessortoappearastwo
logicalprocessorstotheoperatingsystem,allowingtheoperatingsystemtoscheduletwo
threadsorprocessessimultaneously.
[Enabled] Twothreadsperactivatedcoreareenabled.
[Disabled] Onlyonethreadperactivatedcoreisenabled.
Active Processor Cores [All]
ThisitemallowsyoutoselectthenumberofCPUcorestoactivateineachprocessor
package.Congurationoptions:[All][1][2][3]
ForsomeCPUtypes,only[All]and[1]appear.
Intel Virtualization Technology [Enabled]
Whensetto[Enabled],aVMMcanutilizetheadditionalhardwarecapabilitiesprovidedby
VanderpoolTechnology.Congurationoptions:[Disabled][Enabled]
Hardware Prefetcher [Enabled]
ThisitemallowstheCPUtoprefetchcommandsanddataintheL2cache,reducesthe
DRAMloadingtimeandimprovesthesystemperformance.Congurationoptions:[Disabled]
[Enabled]
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetcher [Enabled]
Thisitemallowsthemidlevelcache(L2)toprefetchadjacentcachelines,reducingthe
