Meaning
Support of Intel Virtualization Technology is enabled.
Support of Intel Virtualization Technology is disabled.
The Intel Virtualization Technology is enabled.
The Intel Virtualization Technology is disabled.
The secure encryption method AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) is supported by hardware, which speeds up
encryption and decryption.
The AES function is disabled.
The processor performance states (P-States) is enabled.
The processor performance states (P-States) is disabled.
Turbo mode is enabled.
When the operating system requires more power, the
processor can use Intel® Turbo Boost technology to increase
the clock speed.
To use the Turbo mode effectively, the performance modes
of the processor "PStates (IST)" and energy saving modes of
the processor "C States" must be enabled.
Turbo mode is disabled.
The energy saving modes of the processor are released.
The energy saving modes of the processor are locked.
Prevent the processor from entering hibernation states that
are too deep.
The larger the number behind the "C", the deeper the
hibernation state, the less the power consumption of the
processor and the longer it takes for the device to switch on
again from the hibernation state.
Example:
The settings C7, C6, C1C0 are available.
All cores of the processor are active and used.
Number of processor cores used (provided they do not
exceed the actual number of cores). The remaining are
inactive and are hidden from the operating system. This can
resolve certain problems with software.
It is applicable for stable and realtime scenario, and the CPU
Turbo mode is disabled.
It is applicable for better system performance within the
state temperature range.
It is applicable for the best system performance in operating
temperature derated environments.
