About the CPU C-States Power Saving Modes

From : http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/611

Mode	Name	What it does	CPUs
C0	Operating State	CPU fully turned on	All CPUs
C1	Halt	Stops CPU main internal clocks via software; bus interface unit and APIC are kept running at full speed.	486DX4 and above
C1E	Enhanced Halt	Stops CPU main internal clocks via software and reduces CPU voltage; bus interface unit and APIC are kept running at full speed.	All socket 775 CPUs
C1E	—	Stops all CPU internal clocks.	Turion 64, 65-nm Athlon X2 and Phenom CPUs
C2	Stop Grant	Stops CPU main internal clocks via hardware; bus interface unit and APIC are kept running at full speed.	486DX4 and above
C2	Stop Clock	Stops CPU internal and external clocks via hardware	Only 486DX4, Pentium, Pentium MMX, K5, K6, K6-2, K6-III
C2E	Extended Stop Grant	Stops CPU main internal clocks via hardware and reduces CPU voltage; bus interface unit and APIC are kept running at full speed.	Core 2 Duo and above (Intel only)
C3	Sleep	Stops all CPU internal clocks	Pentium II, Athlon and above, but not on Core 2 Duo E4000 and E6000
C3	Deep Sleep	Stops all CPU internal and external clocks	Pentium II and above, but not on Core 2 Duo E4000 and E6000; Turion 64
C3	AltVID	Stops all CPU internal clocks and reduces CPU voltage	AMD Turion 64
C4	Deeper Sleep	Reduces CPU voltage	Pentium M and above, but not on Core 2 Duo E4000 and E6000 series; AMD Turion 64
C4E/C5	Enhanced Deeper Sleep	Reduces CPU voltage even more and turns off the memory cache	Core Solo, Core Duo and 45-nm mobile Core 2 Duo only
C6	Deep Power Down	Reduces the CPU internal voltage to any value, including 0 V	45-nm mobile Core 2 Duo only
