damaging the system during a virus attack. The options are Enable and Disable. (Refer to
Intel and Microsoft websites for more information.)
Intel Virtualization Technology (Available when two processors are installed on the
motherboard)
Select Enable to use Intel Virtualization Technology which will allow multiple workloads to
share the same set of common resources. On shared virtualized hardware, various workloads
(or tasks) can co-exist, sharing the same resources, while functioning in full independence
from each other, and migrating freely across multi-level infrastructures and scale as needed.
The settings are Enable and Disable.
PPIN Control
Select Unlock/Enable to use the Protected-Processor Inventory Number (PPIN) in the system.
The options are Unlock/Enable and Unlock/Disable.
Hardware Prefetcher (Available when supported by the CPU)
Hardware prefetcher prefetch the data from memory into cache (second level L2), the goal is
to reduce latency with memory reads and improve application performance. MEmory-intensive
applications with high bus utilization could see a performance degradation if hardware
prefetching is enabled. The options are Disable and Enable.
Adjacent Cache Prefetch (Available when supported by the CPU)
Select Enable for the CPU to prefetch both cache lines for 128 bytes as comprised. Select
Disable for the CPU to prefetch both cache lines for 64 bytes. The options are Disable and
Enable.
Note: Please power off and reboot the system for the changes you've made to take
effect. Please refer to Intel's website for detailed information.
DCU Streamer Prefetcher (Available when supported by the CPU)
If this feature is set to Enable, the DCU (Data Cache Unit) streamer prefetcher will prefetch
data streams from the cache memory to the DCU (Data Cache Unit) to speed up data
accessing and processing to enhance CPU performance. The options are Disable and Enable.
DCU IP Prefetcher
This feature allows the system to use the sequential load history, which is based on the
instruction pointer of previous loads, to determine whether the system will prefetch additional
lines. The options are Enable and Disable.
LLC Prefetch
If this feature is set to Enable, LLC (hardware cache) prefetching on all threads will be
supported. The options are Disable and Enable.
