AMD PowerNow!™ AMD Technology (Cool'n'Quiet™ Technology)

• Enhanced power management features which automatically and instantaneously adjusts performance states and features based on processor performance requirements
• C6 power state flushes the cache and removes voltage from individual cores to help reduce power consumption
• CC6 power state puts all cores in C6 into an even lower power state
• for quieter operation and reduced power requirements
• Separate memory controller power control
• IO-based c-state interface
• Works automatically without the need for drivers or BIOS enablement.
• Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle, saving energy with minimal impact to performance
