   <processor> Features of some {Intel} processors, including the
   {Pentium}, for reducing power consumption.  These features
   operate at two levels: the {microprocessor} and the system.
   The processor can enter a low power state during
   non-{processor intensive} tasks (such as {word processing}),
   or a very low-power state when the computer is not in use
   ("sleep" mode).  At the system level, {system management mode}
   can slow down, suspend, or completely shut down various system
   components to save energy.
