HALT Snoop State, Grant Snoop State
The processor will respond to snoop transactions on the FSB while in Stop-Grant state or in HALT
Power Down state. During a snoop transaction, the processor enters the HALT:Grant Snoop state.
The processor will stay in this state until the snoop on the FSB has been serviced (whether by the
processor or another agent on the FSB). After the snoop is serviced, the processor will return to the
Stop-Grant state or HALT Power Down state, as appropriate.

6.2.5.1
Enhanced HALT Snoop State
The Enhanced HALT Snoop State is the default Snoop State when the Enhanced HALT state is
enabled via the BIOS. The processor will remain in the lower bus ratio and VID operating point of
the Enhanced HALT state.
enabled via the BIOS. The processor will remain in the lower bus ratio and VID operating point of
the Enhanced HALT state.
While in the Enhanced HALT Snoop State, snoops are handled the same way as in the HALT
Snoop State. After the snoop is serviced the processor will return to the Enhanced HALT Power
Down state.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep
®
Technology
The Pentium 4 processor 6xx sequence features include Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.
This technology enables the processor to switch between multiple frequency and voltage points to
enable power savings. The system must support dynamic VID transitions. Switching between
voltage/frequency states is software controlled.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology is a technology that creates processor performance states
(P states). P states are power consumption and capability states within the Normal state as shown in
(P states). P states are power consumption and capability states within the Normal state as shown in
. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology enables real-time dynamic switching between
frequency and voltage points. It alters the performance of the processor by changing the bus-to-
core frequency ratio and voltage. This allows the processor to run at different core frequencies and
voltages to best serve the performance and power requirements of the processor and system. Note
that the front side bus is not altered; only the internal core frequency is changed. To run at reduced
power consumption, the voltage is altered in step with the bus ratio.

The following are key features of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology:
•
Multiple voltage/frequency operating points provide optimal performance at reduced power
consumption.

•
Voltage/Frequency selection is software controlled by writing to processor MSRs (Model
Specific Registers) that eliminates chipset dependency.
