The ACPI standard defines processor performance states (P-states) for active performance and C-states (C-states) for idle power savings to prolong battery life and reduce heat. The operating system uses ACPI tables to understand which C-states a CPU can enter. Your Intel CPU (Family 6, Model 58) works with the kernel's ACPI processor driver to manage these states efficiently. For example, the intel_idle driver in Linux relies on these ACPI mechanisms to manage C-states. The acpi flag present in /proc/cpuinfo indicates your kernel has ACPI power management support for this CPU.
Family 6 Model 58 spans across third-generation Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processors for both desktops and laptops.
This indicates that the processor supports the x86-64 instruction set (also known as AMD64 or x64). This means the CPU is capable of running modern 64-bit operating systems and addressing more than 4GB of RAM.
On older ACPI versions, hibernation files can become corrupt. Use powercfg -h off in Command Prompt to refresh it.
You typically encounter this string when:
If you see this ID, you likely have one of the following popular 3rd Gen Intel CPUs: Core i7-3770 Go to product viewer dialog for this item.
Model 58 signifies that your processor is built on the . This was a major technological leap for Intel when it launched in 2012:
Execute the installer package and restart your machine. This populates the correct INF descriptions, allowing Windows to recognize the processor power management routing paths. Step 3: Refresh the Processor Driver Configuration If the issue persists, trigger a driver re-enumeration: Press Windows Key + X and select . Expand the Processors or System Devices tree.
Ivy Bridge processors lack certain modern hardware-level security and architectural features (such as MBEC or official TPM 2.0 integration required for Windows 11). While they run flawlessly on Windows 10 and Linux, attempting to force Windows 11 onto a Family 6 Model 58 chip using bypass hacks can result in power state management issues, causing frequent sleep/wake crashes tied to the ACPI driver. Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
Let's break down the ID: . This is an ACPI-style Hardware ID (or _HID ). In practice, different OSes and logs may represent this in slightly different formats (e.g., ACPI\GenuineIntel_-_Intel64_Family_6_Model_58 ), but the core components are identical.
As of 2024, Model 58 (Ivy Bridge) is considered legacy hardware.
