Intel AES-NI (When supported by the CPU)
Intel® AES instructions are a new set of instructions available beginning with
the the all new 2010 Intel® Core™ processor family based on the 32nm Intel®
microarchitecture. These instructions enable fast and secure data encryption and
decryption, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The options are
Dis-
abled and Enabled.
Simultaneous Multi-Threading (Available when supported by the CPU)
Set to Enabled to use the Hyper-Threading Technology, which will result in increased
CPU performance. The options are Disabled and
Enabled.
Active Processor Cores
Set to Enabled to use a processor's Second Core and beyond. (Please refer to
Intel's web site for more information.) The options are
All, 1 and 2.
Intel® EIST Technology
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to automatically
adjust processor voltage and core frequency in an effort to reduce power consump-
tion and heat dissipation.
Please refer to Intel’s web site for detailed information.
The options are Disable (Disable GV3), and Enable (Enable GV3).
Intel Turbo Boost Configuration (If supported by the installed CPU)
Turbo Ratio Limit Program
Select Enabled to set the processor's clock ratio in relation to the bus speed.
