Low Power Features
NOTE:
1. AutoHALT or MWAIT/C1.
2.1.1 Core Low Power State Descriptions
2.1.1.1 Core C0 State
This is the normal operating state for cores in the processor.
2.1.1.2 Core C1/AutoHALT Powerdown State
C1/AutoHALT is a low power state entered when a core executes the HALT instruction.
The processor core will transition to the C0 state upon occurrence of SMI#, INIT#,
LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR), or FSB interrupt messages. RESET# will cause the processor to
immediately initialize itself.
A System Management Interrupt (SMI) handler will return execution to either Normal
state or the AutoHALT Powerdown state. See the IntelĀ® 64 and IA-32 Architectures
Software Developer's Manuals, Volume 3A/3B: System Programmer's Guide for more
information.
The system can generate a STPCLK# while the processor is in the AutoHALT
Powerdown state. When the system deasserts the STPCLK# interrupt, the processor
will return execution to the HALT state.
