Power Management

Datasheet, Volume 1
Entry and exit of the C-States at the thread and core level are shown in
Figure 4-2
.
While individual threads can request low power C-states, power saving actions only
take place once the core C-state is resolved. Core C-states are automatically resolved
by the processor. For thread and core C-states, a transition to and from C0 is required
before entering any other C-state.
Note:
1.
If enabled, the core C-state will be C1E if all active cores have also resolved to a core C1 state or higher.
