BIOS.ProcSettings.ProcCores (Read or Write)
Description
Controls the number of cores presented to the Operating System (OS) from each populated processor
socket. In general, it is uncommon to artificially reduce the core count for a given system, but under some
circumstances, limited performance improvements to Intel Turbo Boost Technology and potentially larger
shared caches may benefit some customers. Most computing environments tend to benefit more from
larger numbers of processing cores, so you must carefully weigh disabling cores to gain nominal
performance enhancements.
