Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® Technology provides desktop class performance with all the benefits of mobility. This is accomplished with two dynamically switching performance modes. Maximum Performance mode provides desktop-class performance when you are connected to AC power, while Battery Optimized mode delivers maximum battery life. For example, when a system is unplugged, the Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor – M 1.70 GHz core automatically drops to 1.20 GHz from the peak frequency of 1.70 GHz. At the same time, the operating voltage of the processor drops to 1.20 volts from 1.30 volts. In addition, Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® Technology software allows for automatic or user controlled performance mode switching. The software supports all the major operating systems including Microsoft’s Windows* 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP through a common code base.
