Deeper C states and increased latencyToday it is common to describe processor power consumption and thermal management state by CX, states where X can be number 0 to n (n depends on the CPU type). In the C0 state the CPU is running. In C-states higher than 0 the CPU is stopped (sleeps). Higher C states means more power savings but also longer delay when returning to C0 (higher latency). ACPI specification describes C0 - C3, but recen
