Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT)
This computer supports HTT, an Intel-proprietary technology that improves processor performance through
parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once).
The operating system treats an HTT-enabled processor as two virtual processors, and shares the workload
between them when possible. This feature requires that the operating system support multiple processors
and be specifically optimized for HTT.
Use Computer Setup (f10) Utility to enable HTT.

SATA Power Management
SATA Power Management enables or disables SATA bus and/or device power management.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
Your workstation supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.
This feature enables the CPU to run at a higher than normal rate. When all CPU cores are not necessary for
the workload, inactive cores are turned off and power is diverted to the active cores to increase their
performance.
Turbo Boost is enabled and disabled with Computer Setup (f10) Utility.
