Description
Dynamic mode enables the processor to optimize power resources across the cores and
uncore during runtime. The optimization of the uncore frequency to either save power or
optimize performance is influenced by the setting of the Energy Efficiency Policy option.
Enables you to select the Energy Efficient Policy option.
The CPU uses the setting to manipulate the internal behavior of the processor and
determines whether to target higher performance or better power savings.
