6.2.1 Normal State
This is the normal operating state for the processor.

HALT and Extended HALT Powerdown States

The processor supports the HALT or Extended HALT powerdown state. The Extended
HALT powerdown state must be configured and enabled via the BIOS for the processor
to remain within specification.
The Extended HALT state is a lower power state as compared to the Stop Grant State.
If Extended HALT is not enabled, the default powerdown state entered will be HALT.
Refer to the sections below for details about the HALT and Extended HALT states.
6.2.2.1

HALT Powerdown State

HALT is a low power state entered when all the processor cores have executed the HALT
or MWAIT instructions. When one of the processor cores executes the HALT instruction,
that processor core is halted, however, the other processor continues normal operation.
The halted core will transition to the Normal state upon the occurrence of SMI#, INIT#,
or LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR). RESET# will cause the processor to immediately initialize
itself.
