Power Management States
The AMD Sempron processor model 10 supports low-power 
Halt and Stop Grant states. These states are used by advanced 
configuration and power interface (ACPI) enabled operating 
systems for processor power management.
Figure 3  shows the power management states of the processor. 
The figure includes the ACPI “Cx” naming convention for these 
states.
