-	  ITMT enabled scheduler support improves the CPU scheduler's decision
-	  to move tasks to cpu core that can be boosted to a higher frequency
-	  than others. It will have better performance at a cost of slightly
-	  increased overhead in task migrations. If unsure say N here.
+	   Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 enabled CPUs have a
+	   core ordering determined at manufacturing time, which allows
+	   certain cores to reach higher turbo frequencies (when running
+	   single threaded workloads) than others.
+
+	   Enabling this kernel feature teaches the scheduler about
+	   the TBM3 (aka ITMT) priority order of the CPU cores and adjusts the
+	   scheduler's CPU selection logic accordingly, so that higher
+	   overall system performance can be achieved.
+
+	   This feature will have no effect on CPUs without this feature.
