    ► Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch (Appears only when CPU supports) The processor has a hardware adjacent cache line prefetch mechanism that automatically fetches an extra 64-byte cache line whenever the processor requests for a 64-byte cache line. This reduces cache latency by making the next cache line immediately available if the proces- sor requires it as well. When enabled, the processor will retrieve the currently requested cache line, as well as the subsequent cache line.
