CPU Configuration
Hyper Threading
This feature 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 in parallel, thereby
improving their performance.
Execute-Disable Bit Capability
This feature is used to protect certain system memory data regions from insertion and execution of potentially
harmful code.
Limit CPUID Maximum
When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to 03h when queried, even if the
processor supports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum
CPUID input value of the processor when queried.
