Features
8.2.2.3
Package C3 State
The package will enter the C3 low power state when all cores are in the C3 or lower 
power state and the processor has been granted permission by the other component(s) 
in the system to enter the C3 state. The package will also enter the C3 state when all 
cores are in an idle state lower than C3 but other component(s) in the system have 
only granted permission to enter C3.
If Intel QuickPath Interconnect L1 has been granted, the processor will disable some 
clocks and PLLs and for processors with an integrated memory controller, the DRAM will 
be put into self-refresh.
8.2.2.4
Package C6 State
The package will enter the C6 low power state when all cores are in the C6 or lower 
power state and the processor has been granted permission by the other component(s) 
in the system to enter the C6 state. The package will also enter the C6 state when all 
cores are in an idle state lower than C6 but the other component(s) have only granted 
permission to enter C6.
If Intel QuickPath Interconnect L1 has been granted, the processor will disable some 
clocks and PLLs. The shared cache will enter a deep sleep state. Additionally, for 
processors with an integrated memory controller, the DRAM will be put into self-refresh.

Specifications
 lists C-state power specifications for various processor SKU’s.
Notes:
1.
Specifications are at T
CASE
 = 50 C with all cores in the specified C-state.

Sleep States
The processor supports the ACPI sleep states S0, S1, S3, and S4/S5 as shown in 
For information on ACPI S-states and related terminology, refer to the 
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification. The S-state transitions are 
coordinated by the processor in response PM Request (PMReq) messages from the 
chipset. The processor itself will never request a particular S-state.
