4.1 ACPI States Supported

The ACPI states supported by the processor are described in this section.

4.1.1 System States

4.1.2 Processor Package and Core States

Tabl e 4-2 lists the package C-state support as: 1) the shallowest core C-state that
allows entry into the package C-state, 2) the additional factors that will restrict the
state from going any deeper, and 3) the actions taken with respect to the Ring Vcc, PLL
state and LLC.
Tabl e 4-3 lists the processor core C-states support.
Table 4-1. System States
State Description
G0/S0 Full On
G1/S3-Cold Suspend-to-RAM (STR). Context saved to memory
G1/S4 Suspend-to-Disk (STD). All power lost (except wakeup on PCH).
G2/S5 Soft off. All power lost (except wakeup on PCH). Total reboot.
G3 Mechanical off. All power removed from system.
