Intel Speed Step

This field is used to enable or disable the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep

Technology (EIST),

which helps optimize the balance between system’s power consumption and performance.

After it is enabled in the BIOS, EIST features can then be enabled via the operating system’s

power management.

Turbo Mode

Enable or disable turbo mode of the processor. This field will only be displayed when “Intel

Speed Step” is enabled. This field is not available when the equipped CPU does not support

Turbo Mode.

CPU C States

Enable or disable CPU Power Management. It allows CPU to go to C States when it’s not 100%

utilized.

Hyper-threading

Enable or disable Hyper-threading. When it is enabled, a physical core will perform as two

logical processors, and the user may experience better computational efficiency of the system.

Please make sure that the OS operating on your system is optimized for Hyper-Threading,

e.g. Windows and Linux. This field is not available when the equipped CPU does not support

Hyper-threading.
