What is Intel Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Driver?
The Intel Collaborative Processor Performance Control (CPPC) Driver is a software component used to manage and optimize the performance and power consumption of Intel processors in modern computers. It enables the system to intelligently adjust the CPU's performance based on workload demands, which helps to balance between high performance when needed and energy efficiency during low-demand activities. CPPC is part of Intel's Advanced Power Management features and works alongside the operating system to manage power profiles and optimize CPU frequency scaling.
In simple terms, this driver ensures that your Intel processor dynamically adjusts its speed (frequency) based on the tasks being performed, leading to better energy efficiency and longer battery life on laptops.
