AMD?s Cool?n?Quiet is a feature that will throttle the CPU?s voltage and multiplier dependant on the current workload. If the system is merely idling, the processor will drop the multiplier to 5x and lower the CPU voltage to 1.1v. Those processors with an OPN that ends in P5AP throttle down to a multiplier setting of 4x and a voltage of 1.3v. This dynamic workload-dependant throttling feature is similar to AMD?s PowerNow! and Intel?s SpeedStep for mobile processors.
