The following table shows the configurable fields in the CPU Configuration screen.
Note - Hardware prefetchers work well in workloads that traverse array and other regular data structures. The hardware prefetcher options (Hardware Prefetcher, Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch, and L1 Data Prefetcher) are disabled by default and should be disabled when running applications that perform aggressive software prefetching or for workloads with limited cache. For example, memory-intensive applications with high bus utilization could see a performance degradation if hardware prefetching is enabled.
