InstantGo
InstantGo is a platform state. On display time out the OS requests the processor to
enter package C10 and platform devices at RTD3 (or disabled) in order to attain low
power in idle.
Dynamic LLC Sizing
When all processor IA cores request C7 or deeper C-state, internal heuristics
dynamically flushes the LLC. Once the processor IA cores enter a deep C-state,
depending on their MWAIT sub-state request, the LLC is either gradually flushed N-
ways at a time or flushed all at once. Upon the processor IA cores exiting to C0 state,
the LLC is gradually expanded based on internal heuristics.
4.2.6 Package C-States and Display Resolutions
The integrated graphics engine has the frame buffer located in system memory. When
the display is updated, the graphics engine fetches display data from system memory.
Different screen resolutions and refresh rates have different memory latency
requirements. These requirements may limit the deepest Package C-state the
processor can enter. Other elements that may affect the deepest Package C-state
available are the following:
Display is on or off
Single or multiple displays
Native or non-native resolution
Panel Self Refresh (PSR) technology
Note: Display resolution is not the only factor influencing the deepest Package C-state the
processor can get into. Device latencies, interrupt response latencies, and core C-states
are among other factors that influence the final package C-state the processor can
enter.
The following table lists display resolutions and deepest available package C-State.The
display resolutions are examples using common values for blanking and pixel rate.
Actual results will vary. The table shows the deepest possible Package C-state.System
workload, system idle, and AC or DC power also affect the deepest possible Package C-
state.

Notes:
1. All Deep states are with Display ON.
2. The deepest package C-state dependents on various factors, including Platform devices, HW configuration
and peripheral software.
