New Intel processors deliver record performance and consume less power

-- Intel Dynamic Bus Parking -- Enables platform power savings and improved battery life by allowing the chipset to power down with the processor in low-frequency mode.

-- Enhanced Intel Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing -- Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.
