9.9. Processor Performance Control
The Pentium M processor can run in different performance states (multiple frequency/voltage
operating points). The CPU performance can be altered while the computer is functioning. This allows
the processor to run at different core frequencies and voltages depending on CPU thermal state and
OS policy.
Windows XP includes built-in processor performance control to operate the processor more efficiently
when it is not fully utilized. Win2k, WinME and Win9x do not support processor performance control.
Special software is required for Oses not capable of processor performance control.
In Windows, the processor performance control policy is linked to the Power Scheme setting in the
control panel power option applet.
Notes: Windows always runs at the highest p
erformance state when the “Home/Office” or “Always On” power scheme is
selected. For a more detailed information about processor performance control, see: Chapter 8 of the ACPI Specification
