Processor Package and IA Core C-States

  1. PkgC2/C3 are non-architectural: software cannot request to enter these states explicitly. These states are intermediate states between PkgC0 and PkgC6.

  3. The “core state” relates to the core which is in the HIGEST power state in the package (most active).
