by default.
Uncore Frequency
Enables you to select the
Processor Uncore Frequency

Dynamic mode enables the processor to optimize power resources across the cores and uncore during runtime.
The optimization of the uncore frequency to either save power or optimize performance is influenced by the
setting of the
Energy Efficiency Policy
option.
Energy Efficient
Policy
Enables you to select the
Energy Efficient Policy
option.
The CPU uses the setting to manipulate the internal behavior of the processor and determines whether to target
higher performance or better power savings.

Boot Enabled
Cores for
Processor 1
NOTE:
If there are two processors installed in the system, you see an entry for Number of Turbo
Boost Enabled Cores for Processor 2.
