Note
Depending on the number of installed CPUs, there might be up to two processor
listings.
Number of Cores per Processor
Controls the number of enabled cores in the processor. Under certain
circumstances, you may see limited performance improvements to Intel Turbo
Boost Technology and benefits from potentially larger shared caches, when you
reduce the number of enabled cores. Most computing environments tend to
benefit more from larger number of processing cores, so you must carefully weigh
the disabling of cores to gain nominal performance enhancements.
Process Core Speed
Displays the core speed of the processor(s).
Process Bus Speed
Displays the bus speed of the processor(s).
Processor n
The following settings are displayed for each processor installed in the system:
Family-Model-Stepping
Specifies the family, model, and stepping of the processor as defined by
Intel.
Brand
Specifies the brand name.
Level 2 Cache
Specifies the total L2 cache.
Level 3 Cache
Specifies the total L3 cache.
Number of Cores
