One of the other features that was added in Cascade Lake is Speed Select Technology (SST) which allows a chip to be configured in the field for various workloads such as throughput and single-core performance. This is done through configurations that allow the end user to determine how the power budget is spent. For example, single-thread performance can be further increased for fewer chips by further decreasing the base frequency of more inactive core. Alternatively, higher throughput can be achieved by increasing the base frequency of some cores while reducing the base frequency of other cores. All in all, the conigurations are ultimately bound by the power budget of the chip, however the custom tweaking of frquency (base, turbo, or otherwise) enable custom tuning of affinitized workloads. | One of the other features that was added in Cascade Lake is Speed Select Technology (SST) which allows a chip to be configured in the field for various workloads such as throughput and single-core performance.

Although the instructions to support persistent memory were already introduced in {{\\|Skylake (Server)|Skylake}}, Cascade Lake can now actually make use of them. The bare minimum for persistent memory support can be realized by simply putting the data in the write pending queue (WPQ) of the integrated memory controller within the persistence domain. The persistence domain is a unique checkpoint. Once data makes it to that point, it’s persistence is guaranteed by the platform interface. This is shown in the diagram on the right in the bottom dotted box. Any data within that box is either saved on the DIMM, on the way to the DIMM, or in the WPQ in the IMC. Regardless of where it is, the platform is required to store enough energy (e.g., through on-board supercapacitors) to save everything within that box in the event of a power loss. | Although the instructions to support persistent memory were already introduced in {{\\|Skylake (Server)|Skylake}}, Cascade Lake can now actually make use of them.
