CPU Configuration
Max CPUID Value Limit
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.
Execute-Disable Bit Capability
This feature is used to protect certain system memory data regions from insertion and execution of potentially
harmful code.
Hyper Threading Technology
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.
