Your customer needs to accelerate the performance Of their DL380 Gen10 servers running workloads on more active cores at higher Clock frequencies. The customer wants to know if Core Boosting will help. What advice Should you provide?

HPE Core Boosting is a server tuning technology, developed in partnership between HPE and Intel, that allows more processor cores to run at higher frequencies simultaneously. This feature is not available on all processors; it is specifically enabled on select SKUs within the Intel Xeon Scalable processor family. Therefore, the customer's ability to leverage this feature on their DL380 Gen10 servers is entirely dependent on whether their servers are equipped with these specific, supported Intel processors.

A. It is only supported on ProLiant DL Gen11 servers. This is incorrect. HPE Core Boosting was introduced and is fully supported on HPE ProLiant Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers.
B. It is a software solution and has performance limitations. This is incorrect. Core Boosting is a BIOS/UEFI-level feature that works in conjunction with the processor hardware; it is not a software-only solution and is designed to increase performance.
D. It is an AMD technology so it is unavailable to them. This is incorrect. HPE Core Boosting is a feature exclusive to select Intel Xeon Scalable processors and is not available on AMD processors.
