PSR2 Feature Enablement on RPL-P, Intel, PSR (Panel Self Refresh) conserves display power by selectively refreshing static content. It reduces unnecessary updates, optimizing power consumption. PSR1 stores static images after idle frames, while PSR2 sends only changed regions, resulting in substantial power savings compared to PSR1. DC6V Feature Enablement, Intel, DC6V is a power-saving feature for video playback, achieving PC10 Package C states on a 48Hz panel for 24FPS video. It enters PSR2 sleep mode during idle frames. The Dynamic Memory Control (DMC) wakes 1ms before VBI to check for flips, entering DC6V if programmed, or DC3 if not. Driver configuration includes upper and lower guard bands, along with WM_Restore time.
