CPU Frequency Limits

Table 1. CPU Frequency Limits

CPU Frequency Limits

Processors X to X cores active

Note

This item is dynamic text, depending on the current processor state.

This submenu will be shown when set “CPU Frequency Limits” to “Restrict maximum frequency”.

This item is hidden if CPU is SRF or CWF.

  • Max turbo frequency bin

  • Max turbo frequency –1 bin

  • Max turbo frequency –2 bins

  • ...

  • Base frequency +1 bins

The maximum frequency (turbo, AVX, and non-turbo) can be restricted to a frequency between the maximum turbo frequency for the CPU installed and 1.2 GHz. This can be useful for synchronizing CPU tasks.

The max frequency for N+1 cores cannot be higher than N cores. If an unsupported frequency is entered, it will automatically be limited to a supported value. If the CPU frequency limits are being controlled through application software, leave this menu item at the default setting ([Full turbo uplift]).
