Meaning
This item allows you to enable or disable the automatic demotion of C-states.
By selecting Disabled, the CPU will always enter the state as per the operating system's request.
If C-State Auto Demotion is enabled for one or more states, when the CPU receives a request to enter the
specified power-saving state, it will always attempt to enter a state of a lower number. It will enter the lower
state if that lower state is enabled, and if the CPU detects that entering the lower state will be more efficient
(faster) to enter and exit the state (which is typically the case with lower states).
This item allows you to enable or disable the automatic un-demotion of C-states.
By selecting Disabled, the CPU will stay in a C-state with a lower number, even if it receives a request to enter
a higher C-state.
If C-State Auto Un-demotion is enabled for one or more states, it will be possible for the CPU to enter a
requested higher C-state, after entering a lower state.
This item allows you to enable or disable turbo mode.Turbo mode can run the processing cores faster than
the marked frequency when at least part of the CPU is operating either under power, temperature, or other
current specifications limits, as designated by the hardware.
