The Intel Hyper Threading Technology allows a single processor to execute two or more separate threads concurrently. When hyper-threading is enabled, multi-threaded software applications can execute their threads, thereby improving performance. Default setting is Enabled. Hyper-threading (Note) Active Processor Cores (Note) (Note) This item is present only if you install a CPU that supports this feature. For more information about Intel CPUs' unique features, please visit Intel's website. BIOS Setup - 50 - Limit CPUID Maximum Allows you to determine whether to enable all CPU cores. When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum COUID input values to 03h when queried, even if the processor suppports a higher CPUID input value. When disabled, the processor will return the actual maximum CPUID input value of the processor when queried. When enabled, the processor prevents the execution of code in data-only memory pages.
