Introduction
Dell Processor Acceleration Technology (DPAT), enabled through the BIOS,
provides a better performing solution than turning turbo off to force the
processor to operate at the lowest base frequency, while maintaining a more
consistent turbo frequency state. DPAT minimizes transition duration when the
processor functions in turbo mode, thereby decreasing jitter and allowing for
lesser latency.
The following Dell PowerEdge systems with Intel E5-2690 processors installed,
support DPAT.
.
