Performance
Multi-Core Support
Multiple Atom Cores Enables to change the number of Atom cores available to the operating system.
The default value is set to the maximum number of cores.
By default, All cores option is selected.
Intel SpeedStep
Enable Intel® SpeedStep Technology Enables the computer to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency,
decreasing average power consumption and heat production.
By default, the Enable Intel® SpeedStep Technology option is enabled.
C-States Control
Enable C-State Control Enables or disables the ability of the CPU to enter and exit low-power state.
When disabled, it disables all C-states. When enabled, it enables all C-states that
the chipset or platform allows.
By default, the Enable C-State Control option is enabled.
Enable Adaptive C-States for Discrete
Graphics
Allows to dynamically detect high usage of discrete graphics and adjust system
parameters for higher performance during that time period.
By default, the Enable Adaptive C-States for Discrete Graphics option is
enabled.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
Enable Intel® Turbo Boost Technology Enables the Intel TurboBoost mode of the processor. When enabled, the Intel
TurboBoost driver increases the performance of the CPU or graphics processor.
By default, the Enable Intel® Turbo Boost Technology option is enabled.
Intel Turbo Boost Maximum Technology
3.0
Enable Intel® Turbo Boost Maximum
Technology 3.0
Enables or disables the processor core to perform at high frequency if it is running
a high workload. Also, if supported, it disables the Nvidia Dynamic Boost 2.0.
By default, the Enable Intel® Turbo Boost Maximum Technology 3.0 option is
enabled.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
Enable Intel® Hyper-Threading
Technology
Enables the Intel Hyper-Threading mode of the processor. When enabled, the
Intel Hyper-Threading increases the efficiency of the processor resources when
multiple threads run on each core.
By default, the Enable Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology option is enabled.
OverClocking Feature
OverClocking Feature Enables or disables the global overlocking functions.
By default, the OverClocking Feature option is disabled.
TCC Activation Offset
TCC Activation Offset Enables user to adjust the CPU's Tcc offset to moderate the performance of the
CPU.
By default, TCC Activation Offset option is set to 00.
