lower link frequencies.

The options available are Maximum data rate, 11.2 GT/s,

10.4 GT/s, and 9.6 GT/s. This option is set to

Maximum data rate by default.

Maximum data rate indicates that the BIOS runs the

communication links at the maximum frequency

supported by the processors. You can also select specific

frequencies that the processors support, which can vary.

For best performance, you should select Maximum data

rate. Any reduction in the communication link frequency

affects the performance of non-local memory access

and cache coherency traffic. In addition, it can slow access to

non-local I/O devices from a particular processor.

However, if power saving considerations outweigh

performance, reduce the frequency of the processor

communication links. Before reducing the frequency, you must

localize the memory and I/O access to the nearest

NUMA node to minimize the impact to system performance.
