| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) | ACPI establishes industry-standard interfaces enabling OS-directed configuration, power management, and thermal management of mobile, desktop, and server platforms. |
| back-side bus (BSB) | The back-side bus is where your cache memory lives |
| case fan | A computer fan is any fan inside a computer case used for cooling purposes, and may refer to fans that draw cooler air into the case |
| Centrino | Centrino is a technology package from Intel that provides built-in wireless support for laptop computers while making it possible to run a laptop all day (up to seven hours) without a battery recharge. |
| chassis air guide (CAG) | The system includes an air duct for CPU, because in an environment of increasing thermal loads, the processor is generally the most demanding component in terms of system thermal design. |
| Cool’n’Quiet | Cool 'n' Quiet! enables the CPU to monitor system loading and automatically tune CPU voltage and frequency, which results in lower temperature. |
| Cooler | Combination cooling fan and heat sink on top of processor to keep cool |
| DRAM | Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) is a type of random-access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. |
| dual-core processing | A dual core processor for a computer is a central processing unit (CPU) that has two separate cores on the same die, each with its own cache. |
| Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST) | Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology is an advanced means of enabling very high performance while also meeting the power-conservation needs of mobile systems |
| Execute disable bit | An execute disable bit is an Intel hardware-based security component used in the central processing unit (CPU) to separate areas of a memory as storage |
| front-side bus (FSB) | A front side bus is an electrical pathway on a computer's motherboard that connects hardware to the CPU |
| heat sink | a heat sink is a passive heat exchanger component that cools a device by dissipating heat into the surrounding air. |
| hyper-threading | Hyper-threading performed on PC microprocessors. |
| hyper transport | HyperTransport™ technology is a high-speed protocol for use in connecting peripherals to computers, mobile computers, servers, communication systems, network equipment, and embedded equipment. |
| internal bus | Internal bus, also known as Internal data bus, memory bus or system bus or front-Side-Bus, connects all the internal components of a computer, such as CPU and memory, to the motherboard. |
| Level 1 (L1) cache | Level 1 cache, often called primary cache, is a static memory integrated with processor core that is used to store information recently accessed by a processor. |
| Level 2 (L2) cache | L2 is also commonly referred to as secondary cache or external cache. Unlike Layer 1 cache, L2 cache was located on the motherboard on earlier computers, although with newer processors it is found on the processor chip. |
