COMe-bIP2 / Features and Interfaces
4.10 Speedstep Technology
The Intel® processors offer the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology that automatically switches between maximum
performance mode and battery-optimized mode, depending on the needs of the application being run. It enables you to
adapt high performance computing on your applications. When powered by a battery or running in idle mode, the
processor drops to lower frequencies (by changing the CPU ratios) and voltage, conserving battery life while maintaining
a high level of performance. The frequency is set back automatically to the high frequency, allowing you to customize
performance.
In order to use the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology the operating system must support SpeedStep™ technology.
By deactivating the SpeedStep feature in the BIOS, manual control/modification of CPU performance is possible. Setup
the CPU Performance State in the BIOS Setup or use 3rd party software to control CPU Performance States.
