The Intel®
VT‐x and VT

information on disabling support for this technology, refer to
Aptio Skylake
Core BIOS Manual.
3.14.4 Intel
®
Trusted Execution Technology (TXT)
The featured Intel®
Trusted Execution Technology attests to the authenticity
of a platform and its operating system and assures that an authentic OS starts
in a trusted environment and can be considered a trusted OS.
Intel® TXT works in conjunction with the TPM so that the system software
may make trust decisions.
The Intel TXT feature is enabled by default. For further information on
disabling support for this technology, refer to
Aptio Skylake Core BIOS
Manual.

Turbo Boost Technology
The number of active cores determines the maximum processor core
operating frequency. See
, “Active Processor Core Selection”
for
information and instructions.
(Note: The following information is from Intel
® “6th Generation Intel®
Processor Datasheet for H-Platforms
–
Volume 1 of 2”, December 2015
.)
The Intel® Turbo Boost Technology allows the processor core to
opportunistically and automatically run faster than its rated operating
frequency/render clock if it is operating below power, temperature, and
current limits. The Intel Turbo Boost Technology feature is designed to
increase performance of both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads.
The processor supports a Turbo mode in which the processor can use the
thermal capacity associated with the package and run at power levels higher
than TDP power for short durations. This improves the system responsiveness
for short, surging usage conditions. The turbo feature needs to be properly
enabled by BIOS for the processor to operate with maximum performance.
Since the turbo feature is configurable and dependent on many platform
design limits outside of the processor control, the maximum performance
cannot be ensured.
Turbo Mode availability is independent of the number of active cores;
however, the Turbo Mode frequency is dynamic and dependent on the
instantaneous application power load, the number of active cores, user
configurable settings, operating environment, and system design.
Compared with previous generation products, Intel Turbo Boost Technology
will increase the ratio of application power to TDP. Thus, thermal solutions
and platform cooling that are designed to less than thermal design guidance
might experience thermal and performance issues since more applications
will tend to run at the maximum power limit for significant periods of time.
