Hardware Prefetcher
The processor has a hardware prefetcher that automatically analyzes its requirements
and prefetches dat a and instructions from the memory into the Level 2 cache that are
likely to be required in the near future. This reduces the latency associated with
memory reads.
Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch
The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefet ch mechanism that
automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache line whenever the processo r requests for
a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cache latency by making the next cache line
immediately available if the processor requires it as well.
Options: Enabled (Default) / Disabled
Max CPUID Value Limit
When the computer is booted up, the operating system executes the CPUID
instruction to identify the processor and its capabilities. Before it can do so, it must
first query the processor to find out the highest input value CPUID recognizes. This
determines the kind of basic information CPUID can provide the operating system.
