Minimum Processor Idle Power Package State
NOTE: This option is available on servers with Intel processors.
This feature selects the lowest processor idle power state (C-state). The processor automatically
transitions into package C-states based on the Core C-states that cores on the processor have
transitioned to. The higher the package C-state, the lower the power usage of that idle package
state. Package C6 (non-retention) is the lowest power idle package state supported by the processor.
Options include:
• Package C6 State (On G7 and earlier servers) / Package C6 (retention) State (On Gen8
servers)
• Package C3 State (On G7 and earlier servers) (default) / Package C6 (non-retention) State
(On Gen8 servers)
• No Package State
