| Option Name | Verified Settings | Functional Effect | Risk Level | |-------------|------------------|-------------------|------------| | Hyper-Threading Technology | Enabled / Disabled | Enables logical cores. Disabling can reduce power draw by ~10-15% but cripples multi-threaded performance. | Low | | Intel (VMX) Virtualization Technology | Enabled / Disabled | Required for VMware, VirtualBox, WSL2. | Low | | VT-d | Enabled / Disabled | IOMMU for PCIe passthrough. Disabling improves stability on buggy devices but breaks security features. | Medium | | Configurable TDP (cTDP) | Nominal / Up / Down | Dynamically adjusts processor base power (e.g., 15W → 25W up or 10W down). Verified working only on U-series chips. | High (thermal) | | Boot Performance Mode | Max Non-Turbo / Turbo Performance | Max Non-Turbo locks CPU at base clock; Turbo enables Intel SpeedStep. | Low |
