The CPU Configuration area does display more CPU-specific details, but we can also alter some options such as SGX, Intel VT, Intel Speed Shift and so on:

 

 

 

The SATA Configuration menu does display the drives that do support this standard; if a NVMe drive is installed, it won’t show here:

 

 

 

The USB Configuration area will only show the detected devices on this particular bus:
