Mike, that is one of the CPU instructions sets, Kaby Lake runs AVX 2.0 if I remember right. It will heat up your CPU quick, so you can set and offset for it. If set to -1 it will downclock 100Mhz on AVX enabled applications.

AVX offset
The AVX offset parameter allows us to define a separate CPU core multiplier ratio for applications that use AVX code. When AVX code is detected, the CPU Core multiplier ratio will downclock by the user-defined value. This feature is useful because AVX workloads generate more heat within the processor and they require more core voltage to be stable. Ordinarily, an overclock would be constrained by the hottest, most stressful application we run on the system. By using AVX offset, we can run non-AVX workloads, which don’t consume as much power, at a higher CPU frequency than AVX applications.
As an example, that means we can apply 50X ratio with a BCLK of 100MHz, resulting in a 5GHz overclock for non-AVX applications. We can then set the AVX offset parameter to a value 2 (or lower if required), which will reduce the CPU core ratio to 48X (4.8GHz) when an AVX workload is detected. This ensures the system stays within its thermal envelope, without our overclock being constrained solely by the AVX workload.
