.Nm piixpcib
|
|
.Nd Intel PIIX4 PCI-ISA bridge with SpeedStep
|

.Sh SYNOPSIS

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the Intel PIIX and compatible PCI-ISA Bridges
|
|
with Intel's first generation SpeedStep.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Frequency scaling is supported on Pentium III with two voltage modes,
|
|
used by SpeedStep as power states low and high.
|
|
The driver will switch into low power state by reducing voltage
|
|
and frequency of the CPU.
|
|
The factor depends on the processor itself, but
|
|
will always reduce power consumption about 1/2.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The user can manually control the CPU frequency with the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
program using the following node:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width usscanner -offset indent
|
|
.It machdep.speedstep_state = [0/1]
