2. Underclocking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking

   Underclocking, also known as downclocking, is modifying a computer or electronic circuit's timing settings to run at a lower clock rate than is specified. Underclocking is used to reduce a computer's power consumption, increase battery life, reduce heat emission, and it may also increase the system's stability, lifespan/reliability and compatibility.

3. Idle (CPU) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)

   Many operating systems, for example Windows, [1] Linux, [2] and macOS [3] will run an idle task, which is a special task loaded by the OS scheduler on a CPU when there is nothing for the CPU to do. The idle task can be hard-coded into the scheduler, or it can be implemented as a separate task with the lowest possible priority.

4. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

   However, the idle process does not use up computer resources (even when stated to be running at a high percent). Its CPU time "usage" is a measure of how much CPU time is not being used by other threads. In Windows 2000 and later the threads in the System Idle Process are also used to implement CPU power saving.

5. List of Intel CPU microarchitectures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_CPU_micro...

   The following is a partial list of Intel CPU microarchitectures. The list is incomplete, additional details can be found in Intel's tick–tock model, process–architecture–optimization model and Template:Intel processor roadmap.

6. PC power management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_power_management

   The Windows power management system is based upon an idle timer. If the computer is idle for longer than the pre-set time, then the PC may be configured to sleep or ' hibernate '. Windows uses a combination of user activity and CPU activity to determine when the computer is idle.

7. CAS latency - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_latency

   Column address strobe latency, also called CAS latency or CL, is the delay in clock cycles between the READ command and the moment data is available. [1] [2] In asynchronous DRAM, the interval is specified in nanoseconds (absolute time). [3]
