Intel Virtualization Technology - Gigabyte GS-R22PD Service Manual

L3 Cache
Display the information of total L3 Cache per socket.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
The Intel Hyper Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or more separate
threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-threaded software applications can
execute their threads, thereby improving performance.
Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled.
Active Processor Cores
Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores.
Options available: All/1. Default setting is All.
Execute Disable Bit Capability
When enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages. This provides
some protection against buffer overflow attacks.
When disabled, the processor will not restrict code execution in any memory area. This makes the pro-
cessor more vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks.
Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled.
Hardware Prefetcher
Select whether to enable the speculative prefetch unit of the processor.
Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled.
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch
When enabled, cache lines are fetched in pairs. When disabled, only the required cache line is fetched.
Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled.

Intel Virtualization Technology

Select whether to enable the Intel Virtualization Technology function. VT allows a single platform to run
multiple operating systems in independent partitions.
Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled.
Intel EIST Support (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology)
Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high
and low levels in response to processor load.
Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled.
Turbo Mode
When this feature is enabled, the processor can dynamically overclock one or two of its four processing
cores to improve performance with applications that are not multi-threaded or optimized for quad-core
processors.
Options available: Enabled/Disabled. Default setting is Enabled.
