Idle States and Power Management Technologies
Idle States (C-states)
Idle States (C-states) are used to save power when the processor is idle:
- C0: Operational state, meaning the CPU is doing useful work.
- C1: The first idle state.
- C2: The second idle state.
- Higher C-states correspond to more power-saving actions being taken.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology is an advanced means of enabling high performance while meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems:
- Conventional Intel SpeedStep Technology switches both voltage and frequency in tandem between high and low levels in response to processor load.
- Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology builds upon that architecture using design strategies such as:
- Separation between voltage and frequency changes.
- Clock partitioning and recovery.
Thermal Monitoring Technologies
Thermal Monitoring Technologies protect the processor package and the system from thermal failure through several thermal management features:
- An on-die Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) detects the core's temperature.
- The thermal management features reduce package power consumption and thereby temperature when required to remain within normal operating limits.
