Information
CPU values specific to the processor in use.
Active Processor
Cores
Number of cores to enable in each processor
package. If disabled, all cores are enabled. If
enabled, cores 1, 2, and 3 can be disabled or
enabled individually. Core 0 is always enabled
and cannot be disabled.

Intel Virtualization
Technology
Intel VT provides hardware assist to
virtualization software, reducing its size, cost,
and complexity. Special attention is also given
to reduce the virtualization overheads occurring
in cache, I/O, and memory.

VT-d
Provides hardware assists for Intel
Virtualization Technology (VT). This feature can
help improve security and reliability, as well as
improve performance of I/O devices in a virtual
environment.

Bi-directional
PROCHOT
When a processor thermal sensor trips (any
core), the PROCHOT# is driven and the
processor is throttled. If bi-direction is enabled,
external agents can drive PROCHOT# to throttle
the processor.
Enable,

Enable
Thermal Monitor
Uses the thermal control circuit to regulate the
processor temperature. Allows the processor to
maintain a safe operating temperature without
the need for special software drivers or
interrupt handling routines.
Enable,

Enable
Monitor Mwait
Allows for efficient partitioning and
unpartitioning of shared resources among
logical processors. MONITOR sets up an
effective address range monitored for write-to-
memory activities; MWAIT places the processor
in an optimized state until a write to the
monitored address range.
