Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT)
This computer supports HTT, an Intel-proprietary technology that improves processor performance
through parallelization of computations (doing multiple tasks at once).
The operating system treats an HTT-enabled processor as two virtual processors, and shares the
workload between them when possible. This feature requires that the operating system support
multiple processors and be specifically optimized for HTT.
Use Computer Setup (f10) Utility to enable HTT.

SATA Power Management
SATA Power Management enables or disables SATA bus and/or device power management.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
Your workstation supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology.
This feature enables the CPU to run at a higher than normal rate. When all CPU cores are not
necessary for the workload, inactive cores are turned off and power is diverted to the active cores to
increase their performance.
Turbo Boost is enabled and disabled with Computer Setup (f10) Utility.
Go to
http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to determine if your CPU supports Turbo Boost.
