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.
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.

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,
Disable
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,
Disable
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.
Enable,
Disable, Auto
Auto
DTS
Two on-die digital thermal sensors can be
read via an internal register of the processor.
The DTS is the preferred method of reading
the processor die temperature because they
are located much closer to the hottest
portions of the die.
