CPU L1 & L2 Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than conventional
DRAM (system memory). When the CPU requests data, the system transfers
the requested data from the main DRAM into cache memory, for even faster
access by the CPU. The settings enable/disable the internal cache (also known
as L1 or level 1 cache) and external cache (also known as L2 or level 2 cache).
Setting options: Disabled, Enabled.
CPU L3 Cache
Level 3 cache is the extra cache built into motherboards between the
microprocessor and the main memory. Located away from the CPU, the L3
cache is slower than the L1 & L2 caches. This setting allows you to turn on
or off the L3 cache. Setting options: Enabled, Disabled.
Hyper-Threading Technology
®
With Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, a single Hyper-Threading-enabled
processor can simultaneously process two threads of code, improving the per-
formance of multi-threaded code running on a single processor platform. Set-
ting this function to Enabled will improve overall system performance, in-
crease number of users a platform can support, improve reaction and response
time, and increase number of transaction that can be executed. Setting options:
Enabled, Disabled.
