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.
