frequency.
Comments: Lowering the QPI frequency may improve performance per watt for some
processing loads and on certain benchmarks. [Auto Max] will give the maximum QPI performance
available. Appears only on multi-socket boards.
When a multi-socket board has only one processor installed, this will be grayed out, with the previous
value remaining displayed.
Changes in QPI Link Frequency will not take effect until the system reboots, so this will not immediately
change the QPI Link Frequency display. Changing QPI Link Frequency does not affect the QPI Link
Speed.
