Low power C States and long term reliability
Hi,
The Intel volume 1 data sheet for second generation core Desktop processors states the following about C-states:
"Caution: Long term reliability cannot be assured unless all the Low Power Idle States are enabled"
I would like to hear what people think about that.
I just want to turn them all off and use EIST so I can control the lowest multiplier from Windows Power Management. I would enable C1E but that affects SSD performance. And the lower C3 and C6 give lag.
EIST can give just as low a wattage, frequency, and core voltage as C1E, except the processor isn't in the halted state. So what does Intel mean?
