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.
