Meaning
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.
By selecting Auto, turbo mode is enabled only when the CPU is operating at or over predefined limits.
This item allows you to enable or disable processor idle power-saving states (C-states). Your unit falls into
C-states whenever it sleeps or hibernates.
The higher the C-state, the more power-saving capabilities; however, the higher the C-state, the more time
that is required to enter and exit that state.
This item allows you to specify the maximum C-states to be used.
If C6 is selected, the C6 power-saving state causes the CPU cores to save their architectural state (such as,
the contents of various control and general purpose registers) before their power is turned off.
If C7 is selected, the C7 power-saving state is similar to the C6 state, with the addition of the level 3 cache
being flushed progressively when entering this state.
If C1 is selected, the C1 power state stops the processor from executing instructions, but can return to an
executing state instantaneously.
