and instructions into L2 cache from memory for tuning the CPU
performance.
[Disabled]
Disables the hardware prefetcher.
▶ Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch [Enabled]
Enables or disables the CPU hardware prefetcher (MLC Spatial prefetcher).
[Enabled]

[Enabled]
Detects the idle state of system and reduce CPU power consumption
accordingly.
[Disabled]

▶ C1E Support [Disabled]
Enables or disables the C1E function for power-saving in halt state. This item
appears when "Intel C-State" is enabled.
[Enabled]
Enables C1E function to reduce the CPU frequency and voltage for
power-saving in halt state.
[Disabled]
Disables this function.
▶ Package C State limit [Auto]
This item allows you to select a CPU C-state mode for power-saving when system
is idle. This item appears when "Intel C-State" is enabled.
[Auto]
This setting will be configured automatically by BIOS.
[C0~C6]
The power-saving level from high to low is C6, C2, then C0.
▶ CFG Lock [Enabled]
Lock or un-lock the MSR 0xE2[15], CFG lock bit.
