Intel research in platform power management is a new approach to power management that is poised to deliver dramatic reductions in power to future Intel products. While Intel and others have continued to improve the efficiency of various platform subsystems, efforts to achieve significant reductions in total power consumption have been hampered by the inability to broadly modify behavior across the platform. By researching a new framework for power management that coordinates behavior across the platform we have been able to demonstrate dramatic power reductions in a single generation of product which traditionally would have taken multiple generations to achieve.
