  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.
