Dual- And Quad-Core Processors - HP Xw4600 - Workstation - 2 GB RAM Technical Reference Manual

STAR qualified per the applicable ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. The following logo
appears on all ENERGY STAR qualified computers.
The ENERGY STAR Computers Program was created by the EPA to promote energy efficiency and
reduce air pollution through more energy-efficient equipment in homes, offices, and factories. One way
products achieve this energy efficiency is by reducing power consumption when not being used through
the Microsoft Windows Power Management feature.
The Power Management feature enables the workstation to enter a low-power (or "sleep") mode after
a period of inactivity. When used with an external monitor that is ENERGY STAR qualified, this feature
also supports the similar power management features of the external monitor.
To take advantage of this energy savings:
●
The Power Management feature has been preset to suspend the workstation to a sleep state after
30 minutes of inactivity.
● The Power Management feature has been preset to suspend the monitor to a sleep state after 15
minutes of inactivity.
Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the
computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). when configured with Wake On LAN (WOL)
enabled, the workstation can also be woken by a network signal.
See the EPA ENERGY STAR Power Management Web site for more information about the energy and
financial savings potential of the Power Management Feature:

CAUTION:
can cause video distortion when an Energy Save timeout occurs.
NOTE:
If it is necessary to restore the operating system, you must also reset the ENERGY STAR settings (if
applicable) after the restore.
To verify the factory default power settings for your workstation, select Start>Control Panel, and then
double-click Power Options.

Dual- and quad-core processors

The HP xw4600 Workstation supports dual- and quad-core processors that provide two or four true
processors in a single socket. Dual- and quad-core processors are better at handling the load of multi-
threaded applications (such as rendering images in Digital Content Creation) and highly multi-tasked
environments (such as running several productivity applications while listening to music).
