Intel Turbo Boost Technology
The HP Z Workstation series supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.
When the workload does not require all CPU cores, this feature diverts power from inactive cores to
active cores, increasing their performance. This lets the CPU run at a higher than normal rate.
Use the workstation BIOS to enable, enhance, or disable Turbo Boost. For instructions on setting BIOS
features, see
The Computer Setup (F10) Utility on page 30
