The default value is set to the maximum number of cores. Default: All Cores Intel SpeedStep Enable Intel SpeedStep Technology Enables or disables the Intel SpeedStep Technology to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, decreasing average power consumption and heat production. Default: ON Enable C-State Control Enables or disables the CPU's ability to enter and exit low-power states. Default: ON Intel Turbo Boost Technology Enable Intel Turbo Boost Technology Enabled or disabled the Intel TurboBoost mode of the processor. If enabled, the Intel TurboBoost driver increases the performance of the CPU or graphics processor. Default: ON Intel Hyper-Threading Technology Enable Intel Hyper-Threading Technology Enabled or disabled the Intel Hyper-Threading mode of the processor.

Battery settings are adaptively optimized based on your typical battery usage pattern. Enable Advanced Battery Charge Configuration Enables Advanced Battery Charge Configuration from the beginning of the day to a specified work period. Advanced Battery Charged maximizes battery health while still supporting heavy use during the work day. Default: OFF Peak Shift Enables the computer to run on battery during peak power usage hours. 54 System setup
