SpeedStep™ Technology
SpeedStep™ technology enables the adaption of high performance computing in applications by switching
automatically between maximum performance mode and battery-optimized mode, depending on the needs of the
application. When battery powered or running in idle mode, the processor drops to lower frequencies (by changing
the CPU ratios) and voltage, thus conserving battery life while maintaining a high level of performance. The frequency
is automatically set back to the higher frequency, allowing you to customize performance.
In order to use the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology the operating system must support SpeedStep™
technology.
By deactivating the SpeedStep™ feature in the BIOS Setup, manual control or modification of the CPU performance is
possible. To achieve manual control setup the CPU Performance State in the BIOS Setup or use third party software to
control the CPU Performance States.
