Processor Retest

Clears the processors’ historical status and resets all

 

processors during the next bootup. Options include Yes

 

and No.

 

 

Processor Speed

The processor speed is the speed at which a

Settings

microprocessor executes instructions. Clock speeds are

 

expressed in megahertz (MHz), with 1 MHz being equal

 

to 1 million cycles per second. The faster the clock, the

 

more instructions the CPU can execute per second.

Cache size of the selected processor

L2/L3 Cache

 

 

 

Hyper-threading

Enables or disables the hyperthreading function of the

Technology

processor.

 

When enabled, one physical processor acts as two logical

 

processors by "threading" two sets of data instructions

 

in parallel streams for processing. The processor can

 

then simultaneously manage incoming data from

 

different applications without losing track of the data

 

processing status of each.
