Datasheet
If Intel QPI L1 has been granted, the processor will disable some clocks and PLLs and
for processors with an integrated memory controller, the DRAM will be put into self-
refresh.
7.2.2.4
Package C6 State
The package will enter the C6 low power state when all cores are in the C6 or lower
power state and the processor has been granted permission by the other component(s)
in the system to enter the C6 state. The package will also enter the C6 state when all
cores are in an idle state lower than C6 but the other component(s) have only granted
permission to enter C6.
If Intel QPI L1 has been granted, the processor will disable some clocks and PLLs and
the shared cache will enter a deep sleep state. Additionally, for processors with an
integrated memory controller, the DRAM will be put into self-refresh.
7.3
Sleep States
The processor supports the ACPI sleep states S0, S1, S3, and S4/S5 as shown in. For
information on ACPI S-states and related terminology, refer to ACPI Specification. The
S-state transitions are coordinated by the processor in response PM Request (PMReq)
messages from the chipset. The processor itself will never request a particular S-state.
Notes:
1.
If the chipset requests an S-state transition which is not allowed, a machine check error
will be generated by the processor.
7.4
ACPI P-States (Intel
®
Turbo Boost Technology)
The processor supports ACPI P-States. A new feature is that the P0 ACPI state will be a
request for Intel Turbo Boost Technology. This technology opportunistically and
automatically allows the processor to run faster than its marked frequency if the
processor is operating below power, thermal, and current specifications. Maximum
turbo frequency is dependant on the processor component and number of active cores.
No special hardware support is necessary for Intel Turbo Boost Technology. BIOS and
the operating system can enable or disable Intel Turbo Boost Technology.
