Number of cores to enable
in each processor
package.
The number 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, this will
override the BIOS setting, and the
number selected by the BIOS will be
disregarded.
