Datasheet

This is the normal operating state for the processor.

The Pentium 4 processor supports the HALT or Enhanced HALT powerdown state. The 

Enhanced HALT Powerdown state is configured and enabled via the BIOS. The 

Enhanced HALT state must be enabled via the BIOS for the processor to remain within 

its specifications.

The Enhanced HALT state is a lower power state as compared to the Stop Grant State.

If Enhanced HALT is not enabled, the default Powerdown state entered will be HALT. 

Refer to the following sections for details about the HALT and Enhanced HALT states.

HALT is a low power state entered when all the logical processors have executed the 

HALT or MWAIT instructions. When one of the logical processors executes the HALT 

instruction, that logical processor is halted; however, the other processor continues 

normal operation. The processor will transition to the Normal state upon the occurrence 

of SMI#, BINIT#, INIT#, or LINT[1:0] (NMI, INTR). RESET# will cause the processor to 

immediately initialize itself.
