24 .Cd "piixpcib* at pci? dev ? function ?"
25 .Cd "isa* at piixpcib?"
29 driver provides support for the Intel PIIX and compatible PCI-ISA Bridges
30 with Intel's first generation SpeedStep.
32 Frequency scaling is supported on Pentium III with two voltage modes,
33 used by SpeedStep as power states low and high.
34 The driver will switch into low power state by reducing voltage
35 and frequency of the CPU.
36 The factor depends on the processor itself, but
37 will always reduce power consumption about 1/2.
39 The user can manually control the CPU frequency with the
41 program using the following node:
42 .Bl -tag -width usscanner -offset indent
43 .It machdep.speedstep_state = [0/1]
