Number of cores to enable in each processor package.
Comments: The numbers of cores that appear as selections depends on the number of cores
available in the processors installed. Boards may have as many as 8 cores in each of 1, 2, or 4
processors. The same number of cores must be active in each processor package.
This Setup screen should begin with the number of currently-active cores as the number displayed. See
note below this may be different from the number previously set by the user.
Note: The ME can control the number of active cores independently of the BIOS Setup setting. If the
ME disables or enables processor cores, that will override the BIOS setting, and the number selected
by BIOS will be disregarded.
