Defining the Interface Between the Operating System and Platform Firmware

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Specification, previously known as the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Specification, defines an interface between an operating system and platform firmware. The interface consists of data tables that contain platform-related information, boot service calls, and runtime service calls that are available to the operating system and its loader. Free phonic sound cards. These provide a standard environment for booting an operating system and running pre-boot applications.

The UEFI Specification was primarily intended for the next generation of Intel® architecture–based computers, and is an outgrowth of the Intel Boot Initiative (IBI) program that began in 1998. Intel's original version of this specification was publicly named EFI, ending with the EFI 1.10 version.

1x inference throughput improvement on Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8180 processor (July 2017) baseline: Tested by Intel as of July 11th 2017: Platform: 2S Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8180 CPU @ 2.50GHz (28 cores), HT disabled, turbo disabled, scaling governor set to “performance” via intelpstate driver, 384GB DDR4-2666 ECC RAM.

I have an A515-43 and a driver update popped up in Windows Update for Insyde firmware 5.32.1.9. I'm currently running 5.0. This is not a BIOS update (the latest BIOS is 1.10), but looks like a UEFI upgrade. If you know your motherboard type, then you can download the corresponding driver, but if you’re unsure, you can try out version: B17.1023.1 which supports AMD series motherboard as shown on the image below, this version is compatible with most motherboards. TAIPEI, TAIWAN, December 29, 2020 – Insyde® Software, a leading provider of UEFI BIOS and BMC management firmware, announced today that several of its customers are using InsydeH2O® UEFI BIOS for their newest, ultra-portable PCs designed for the Intel® Evo™ platform.

In 2005, The Unified EFI Forum was formed as an industry-wide organization to promote adoption and continue the development of the EFI Specification. Using the EFI 1.10 Specification as the starting point, this industry group released the follow on specifications, renamed Unified EFI.
