What distinguishes server CPUs from client CPUs?

The correct answer is A. Server CPUs have no overlocking features; client CPUs do have them. Server CPUs typically have limited or no overclocking features, and this is by design. Overclocking involves running a CPU at clock speeds higher than its officially rated specifications, and it can increase the risk of instability and heat generation. Server environments…

Explanation

Server CPUs typically have limited or no overclocking features, and this is by design. Overclocking involves running a CPU at clock speeds higher than its officially rated specifications, and it can increase the risk of instability and heat generation. Server environments prioritize stability, reliability, and predictability over maximum performance, and overclocking can introduce unpredictability and reduce system reliability.
