Switching Overhead

-p. 168: "Processor core (including shared cache) is unavailable for less than 2us during the frequency transition."
Power consumption table for 5600 by C-state
Power consumption table for several processors at different power management C-states
-20us transition overhead for all C-states?
-Overview charts on C-State configuration details wakeup times and power consumption
-Gives wakeup times, but don't know where they came from
