SL

    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.
