QuickStart and Deeper Sleep

QuickStart and Deeper Sleep

QuickStart and Deeper Sleep are two processor features appearing in some Intel processors in ThinkPads.

Intel describes them as follows:

QuickStart extends battery life by reducing power during pauses in user activity, such as between keystrokes.

Deeper Sleep alert state is a dynamic power management mode which is enabled during less than a millisecond of inactivity by the user, such as between keystrokes, delivering longer battery life
