Refresh Rate option is set to 1x.
Uncore Frequency Selects the Processor Uncore Frequency.
Dynamic mode allows the processor to optimize power resources across
the cores and uncore during runtime. The optimization of the uncore
frequency to either save power or optimize performance is influenced by
the setting of the Energy Efficiency Policy.
Energy Efficient Policy Enables you to select the Energy Efficient Policy.
The CPU uses the setting to manipulate the internal behavior of the
processor and determines whether to target higher performance or
better power savings.
