What is Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology with Multiple Voltage / Frequency Operating Points?
Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor-M supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allowing the processor to switch between only two core performance frequencies. Intel Pentium M processors add new capabilities to Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology with multiple voltage / frequency operating points. This means that dynamic transitions will happen at smaller intervals between the Battery-Optimized mode (lowest voltage / frequency) and the Performance-Optimized mode (highest voltage / frequency), enabling higher performance and lower power for each workload. With dynamic switching capability mobile systems can switch between the multiple operating points based on CPU utilization, without user intervention. The result is that the user observes higher performance and extended battery-life automatically. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology with multiple voltage / frequency operating points enables optimum performance at the lowest power whether connected to AC or Battery Power, resulting in a
