    Not quite right. Processors do not support an infinite number of power states (let alone 100 of them) so setting it to 3% is more likely to apply the logic of "minumum power state that keeps the processor above 3% of nominal frequency". I've typically seen processors have something like 10 power states, with variations of clock speed and cpu voltage.

  • Yes exactly, the Processor has a Limited number of Possible states, it is not Possible to set the CPU other than these States. (I just took those Values as Example) Please don't Down Vote. Commented Jun 2, 2012 at 7:32
  • I didn't down-vote you, I was merely adding some clarification as a comment. I actually thought your answer gave some useful information and as I only vote down awful or outright wrong answers I can only tell you the down vote wasn't mine.
