Performance Per Watt
Profile
Allows optimization of performance based on
the workload type.
The WorkloadProfile setting is not a 'state'.
Setting a workload profile is a one-time action
that in turns modifies various BIOS settings to
be optimized for the requested workload
type.
CPU Interconnect Bus
Link Power
Management
• Enabled
• Disabled
When enabled, CPU interconnect bus link
power management can reduce overall
system power a bit while slightly reducing
system performance.
Note: This option is only available on systems
with Intel processors.
PCI ASPM L1 Link
Power Management
• Enabled
• Disabled
When enabled, PCIe Advanced State Power
Management (ASPM) can reduce overall
system power a bit while slightly reducing
system performance.
Note: Some devices may not perform
properly (they may stop responding or cause
the system to stop responding) when ASPM is
enabled. Therefore, L1 will only be enabled
for validated qualified cards.
Processor EIST
• Enabled
• Disabled
This field enables or disables Processor EIST.
Intel Persistent Memory
CR QoS
• Mode 0
• Mode 1
• Mode 2
CR QoS tuning modes.
Mode 0 - Disable the PMem QoS Feature
Mode 1 - M2M QoS Enable/CHA QoS Disable
Mode 2 - M2M QoS Enable/CHA QoS Enable
Note: This option is only available on systems
with Intel processors.
Intel Persistent Memory
Performance Setting
• BW Optimized
• Balanced Profile
NVM baseline performance settings
depending on the workload behavior.
BW Optimized - Optimized for DDR and DDRT
Bandwith.
Latency Optimized - Better DDR latency in the
presence.
