Description

Processor Info Block

No option

Displays the processor manufacturer, brand, frequency, and 
cache sizes.

MPS Revision

1.1

1.4

Select the revision of the multi processor support interface 
that should be offered by the BIOS. Set back to 1.1 in case 
problems occur with older non ACPI operating systems.

Max CPUID Value 
Limit

Disabled

Enabled

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.

Limiting the CPUID input value may be required for older 
operating systems that cannot handle the extra CPUID 
information returned when using the full CPUID input 
value.

Execute Disable Bit

Disabled

Enabled

Enable or disable the hardware support for data execution 
prevention. 

Core Multi-
Processing

Disabled

Enabled

When set to disabled, the second core in a dual core 
processor system is not used.

Intel SpeedStep tech.

Maximum Speed

Minimum Speed

Automatic

Disabled

Maximum: CPU speed is set to maximum.

Minimum: CPU speed is set to minimum.

Automatic: CPU speed is controlled by the operating 
system.

Disabled: No SpeedStep, default CPU speed.

Note: This option is not available for Celeron M CPUs.

Max. CPU 
Frequency

(Available 
options depend 
on processor)

Allows to reduce the maximum processor frequency. This 
limits the maximum frequency the CPU can be set to when 
SpeedStep is set to Automatic or Maximum Speed. Used 
when the system is AC powered.

Note: This option is not available for Celeron M CPUs.

Max. CPU 
Frequency (Battery)

(same as above)

Allows to reduce the maximum processor frequency. This 
limits the maximum frequency the CPU can be set to when 
SpeedStep is set to Automatic or Maximum Speed. Used 
when the system is battery powered.

Note: This option is not available for Celeron M CPUs. 
This node is only visible when the system is connected to a  
battery system.

On Demand Clock 
Modulation

Disabled

75%

50%

25%

Allows a reduction of the performance of the processor by 
utilizing clock modulation. The value indicates the CLOCK 
ON to CLOCK OFF interval ratio. E.g. 75% results in a 
performance decrease of about 25%.

Note: This option is only available for Celeron M CPUs.

Intel(R) C-State tech.

Disabled

Enabled

Enable or disable advanced CPU C-state support.
