CPU spread spectrum description. http://www.rojakpot.com/showFreeBOG.aspx?lang=0&bogno=266 As for the rest, you'll have to do what the rest of us do 'Use GOOGLE'! You'll find descriptions for all those items you've listed. NB: None of which are going to give you a performance boost, as they are all similar except the CPU thermal throttling, which refers to the CPU speed when the system is idling.
