MS-7593 ▶ Current CPU / DRAM / QPI Frequency These items show the current frequencies of CPU, Memory and QPI. Read-only. ▶ CPU Specifications Press to enter the sub-menu and the following screen appears. This submenu shows the information of installed CPU. ▶ CPU Technology Support Press to enter the sub-menu. This sub-menu shows the technologies that the installed CPU supported. ▶ Intel EIST The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of the microprocessor whether the computer is running on battery or AC power. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support speedstep technology. ▶ Intel C-STATE tech C-state is a power management state that significantly reduces the power of the processor during idle. This field will appear after you installed the CPU which support c-state technology. ▶ Base Clock (MHz) This item allows you to set the CPU Base clock (in MHz). You may overclock the CPU by adjusting this value. Please note the overclocking behavior is not guaranteed. ▶ Intel Turbo Boost tech This item will appear when you install a CPU with Intel Turbo Boost technology. This item is used to enable/ disable Intel Turbo Boost technology. It can scale processor frequency higher dynamically when applications demand more performance and TDP headroom exists. It also can deliver seamless power scalability (Dynamically scale up, Speed-Step Down). It is the Intel newly technology within i7 CPU. 3-19

Current CPU / DRAM / QPI Frequency
These ±tems show the current frequenc±es of CPU, Memory and QPI. Read-only.
CPU Spec±ficat±ons
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu and the follow±ng screen appears. Th±s submenu
shows the ±nformat±on of ±nstalled CPU.
CPU Technology Support
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu. Th±s sub-menu shows the technolog±es that
the ±nstalled CPU supported.
Intel EIST
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows you to set the performance level of
the m±croprocessor whether the computer ±s runn±ng on battery or AC power. Th±s field
w±ll appear after you ±nstalled the CPU wh±ch support speedstep technology.
Intel C-STATE tech
C-state ±s a power management state that s±gn±ficantly reduces the power of the proces-
sor dur±ng ±dle. Th±s field w±ll appear after you ±nstalled the CPU wh±ch support c-state
technology.
Base Clock (MHz)
Th±s ±tem allows you to set the CPU Base clock (±n MHz). You may overclock the CPU
by adjust±ng th±s value. Please note the overclock±ng behav±or ±s not guaranteed.
Intel Turbo Boost tech
Th±s ±tem w±ll appear when you ±nstall a CPU w±th Intel Turbo Boost technology. Th±s
±tem ±s used to enable/ d±sable Intel Turbo Boost technology. It can scale processor
frequency h±gher dynam±cally when appl±cat±ons demand more performance and TDP
headroom ex±sts. It also can del±ver seamless power scalab±l±ty (Dynam±cally scale up,
Speed-Step Down). It ±s the Intel newly technology w±th±n ±7 CPU.
