Hey guys,
Just a quick question. We have a Dell PowerEdge R720 with an Intel E5-2620 @ 2.00 Ghz CPU. The server motherboard can handle 2 physical processors, but we only have one.
In the Task Manager, it was showing 12 logical processors. Now, after talking to Dell support, I went to BIOS and selected DISABLE under LOGICAL PROCESSORS. Apparently, I was told that this would be a performance boost, along with DISABLING the following under System Profile Settings:
Turbo Boost - was enabled, I disabled it
C1E - was enabled, I disabled it
C States - was enabled, I disabled it
So now, in Task Manager, I only see 6 processors.
So my question is - was this a good improvement? What did it do for me?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
