Option Description
Memory Patrol Scrub Sets the memory patrol scrub mode. This option is set to Standard by default.
Memory Refresh Rate Sets the memory refresh rate, this option is set to 1x by default.
Uncore Frequency Enables you to select the Uncore Frequency option. Dynamic enables the processor to
optimize power resources across cores and uncores during runtime. The optimization of the
uncore frequency to either save power or optimize performance is influenced by the setting
of the Energy Efficiency Policy option.
Dynamic Load Line Switch Dynamic Load Line Switch control. Dynamic Load Line (DLL) is a Power Management
feature, which dynamically switches to the performance mode during periods of high CPU
utilization. Read-only unless System Profile is set to Custom.
Energy Efficient Policy Enables you to select the Energy Efficient Policy option. The CPU uses the setting to
manipulate the internal behavior of the processor and determines whether to target higher
performance or better power savings. This option is set to Balanced Performance by
default.
Monitor/Mwait Enables the Monitor/Mwait instructions in the processor. This option is set to Enabled for all
system profiles, except Custom by default.
NOTE: This option can be disabled only if the C States option in the Custom mode is set
