Features 6.2.3.2 6.2.4 6.2.4.1 6.2.4.2 RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize itself, but the processor will stay in Stop-Grant state. A transition back to the Normal state will occur with the deassertion of the STPCLK# signal. A transition to the Grant Snoop state will occur when the processor detects a snoop on the FSB (see Section 6.2.4). While in the Stop-Grant State, SMI#, INIT# and LINT[1:0] will be latched by the processor, and only serviced when the processor returns to the Normal State. Only one occurrence of each event will be recognized upon return to the Normal state. While in Stop-Grant state, the processor will process a FSB snoop. Extended Stop Grant State Extended Stop Grant is a low power state entered when the STPCLK# signal is asserted and Extended Stop Grant has been enabled using the BIOS. The processor will automatically transition to a lower frequency and voltage operating point before entering the Extended Stop Grant state. When entering the low power state, the processor will first switch to the lower bus ratio and then transition to the lower VID. The processor exits the Extended Stop Grant state when a break event occurs. When the processor exits the Extended Stop Grant state, it will resume operation at the lower frequency, transition the VID to the original value, and then change the bus ratio back to the original value. Extended HALT Snoop State, HALT Snoop State, Extended Stop Grant Snoop State, and Stop Grant Snoop State The Extended HALT Snoop State is used in conjunction with the Extended HALT state. If Extended HALT state is not enabled in the BIOS, the default Snoop State entered will be the HALT Snoop State. Refer to the sections below for details on HALT Snoop State, Stop Grant Snoop State, Extended HALT Snoop State, Extended Stop Grant Snoop State. HALT Snoop State, Stop Grant Snoop State The processor will respond to snoop transactions on the FSB while in Stop-Grant state or in HALT powerdown state. During a snoop transaction, the processor enters the HALT Snoop State:Stop Grant Snoop state. The processor will stay in this state until the snoop on the FSB has been serviced (whether by the processor or another agent on the FSB). After the snoop is serviced, the processor will return to the Stop Grant state or HALT powerdown state, as appropriate. Extended HALT Snoop State, Extended Stop Grant Snoop State The processor will remain in the lower bus ratio and VID operating point of the Extended HALT state or Extended Stop Grant state. While in the Extended HALT Snoop State or Extended Stop Grant Snoop State, snoops are handled the same way as in the HALT Snoop State or Stop Grant Snoop State. After the snoop is serviced the processor will return to the Extended HALT state or Extended Stop Grant state. 88 Datasheet
