Number of cores to enable in
each processor package.
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 eight 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.
