Installed This file was automatically installed as part of a recent update. If you are experiencing any issues, you can manually download and reinstall.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can result in decreased average power consumption and decreased average heat production. This feature can help address power concerns in companies with sites approaching the limits of bounded electrical infrastructures. Combined with existing power saving features, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology can provide an excellent balance between providing power when you need it and conserving it when you don’t. Manual override lets you boost the frequency back to the near maximum frequency when on battery, allowing you to customize performance.
