Also known as Intel SpeedStep

Enhanced SpeedStep is a series of dynamic frequency scaling technologies (codenamed Geyserville and including SpeedStep, SpeedStep II, and SpeedStep III) built into some Intel's microprocessors that allow the clock speed of the processor to be dynamically changed (to different P-states) by software. This allows the processor to meet the instantaneous performance needs of the operation being performed, while minimizing power draw and heat generation. EIST (SpeedStep III) was introduced in several Prescott 6 series in the first quarter of 2005, namely the Pentium 4 660. Intel Speed Shift Technol

SpeedStep è una tecnologia sviluppata da Intel per ridurre il consumo dei suoi processori.Inizialmente implementata solo nei processori del settore mobile destinati all'impiego in computer portatili (Pentium III-M, Pentium 4-M, Mobile Pentium 4 e Pentium M), è stata poi migliorata diventando Enhanced SpeedStep Technology (EIST) ed inserita anche nei processori del settore desktop con i Pentium 4 Prescott serie 6xx e Pentium D, oltre che in quelli del settore server con gli Xeon DP Irwindale.
