30 Datasheet
Notes:
1. Package C7 is not supported.
2. All package states are defined to be "E" states – such that the states always exit back into the LFM point
upon execution resume
3. The mapping of actions for PC3, and PC6 are suggestions – microcode will dynamically determine which
actions should be taken based on the desired exit latency parameters.
4. CC3/CC6 will all use a voltage below the VccMin operational point. The exact voltage selected will be a
function of the snoop and interrupt response time requirements made by the devices (PCIe* and DMI) and
the operating system.
