Which of the following is the main purpose of a parked CPU core?

• Saves Power
• Increase performance of applications
• Reserves CPU core for specific application process
• To prolong the lifespan of the CPU 

 

EXPLANATION

This process essentially puts your CPU cores in a sleep state, and wakes them up when an application depends on higher core usage. Majority of the time this is left enabled unless your a power user or a gamer. It can increase performance slightly for those situations. On some processors, this option cannot be disabled.
