Intel Virtualization Technology (Available when supported by the CPU)
Select Enable to support Intel Virtualization Technology, which will allow one
platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent parti-
tions, creating multiple "virtual" systems in one physical computer. The options
are
Enable
and Disable.
Note
: If a change is made to this setting, you will need to reboot the
system for the change to take effect. Refer to Intel’s website for detailed
information.
Advanced Power Management Configuration
This section is used to configure the following CPU Power Management settings.
Power Technology
Select Energy Efficiency to support power-saving mode. Select Custom to customize
system power settings. Select Disable to disable power-saving settings. The options
are Disable,
Energy Efficiency
, and Custom.
If the above is set to 'Custom' the following options are displayed:
CPU P State Control
EIST (P-States)
EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to automatically
adjust processor voltage and core frequency to reduce power consumption and
heat dissipation. The options are Disable, and
Enable.
Turbo Mode (Available when Intel® EIST Technology is enabled)
Select Enable to use the Turbo Mode to boost system performance. The options
are
Enable
and Disable.
P-State Coordination
This feature allows the user to change the P-State (Power-Performance State)
coordination type. P-State is also known as "SpeedStep" for Intel processors.
Select HW_ALL to change the P-State coordination type for all hardware com-
ponents only. Select SW_ALL to change the P-State coordination type for all
software installed in the system. Select SW_ANY to change the P-State coordina-
tion type for a particular software program specified by the user in the system.
The options are
HW_All
,
SW_ALL, and SW_ANY.
Use this item to set the limit on power performance states for the run-time processor,
with P0 being the state with the highest power and frequency, and P1, a step lower in
performance than P0, with its voltage and frequency scaled back a notch. The options
are Between P1/P0 and Below P1.
