Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Manager Driver Overview

The Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Manager is a system driver used by Intel-based laptops and desktops to manage the thermal performance and power consumption of your CPU and other system components. This driver works in conjunction with the Intel Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework (DPTF), which is designed to optimize system performance, improve battery life, and prevent overheating by dynamically adjusting the processor’s power and thermal states.

In simpler terms, this driver helps manage how your system behaves under different workloads, keeping it cool when idle and boosting performance when needed. It ensures that the laptop or PC operates efficiently by managing power and cooling in response to system demands.
