L3 Cache Display the information of total L3 Cache per socket. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology The Intel Hyper Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or more separate threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-threaded software applications can execute their threads, thereby improving performance. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. Active Processor Cores (Note) Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores. Options available: All/1. Default setting is All. Execute Disable Bit Capability When enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages. This provides some protection against buffer overflow attacks. When disabled, the processor will not restrict code execution in any memory area. This makes the processor more vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. Hardware Prefetcher Select whether to enable the speculative prefetch unit of the processor. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch When enabled, cache lines are fetched in pairs. When disabled, only the required cache line is fetched. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. Intel Virtualization Technology Select whether to enable the Intel Virtualization Technology function. VT allows a single platform to run multiple operating systems in independent partitions. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. Intel EIST Support (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. Turbo Mode When this feature is enabled, the processor can dynamically overclock one or two of its four processing cores to improve performance with applications that are not multi-threaded or optimized for quad-core processors. Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled. (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature.
