A computer system and a power management method thereof are provided. The
computer system includes a system management controller, a northbridge, a
hyper transport bus, a central processing unit and a power management
signal line. The northbridge is electrically connected to the system
management controller via the hyper transport bus. The central processing
unit is electrically connected to the northbridge but does not support
the hyper transport bus. The system management controller outputs a power
management signal to the central processing unit and the northbridge via
the power management signal line. When the system management controller
asserts the power management signal, data transmission is stopped with
the disconnection of the hyper transport bus, and the central processing
unit changes to a power-saving state from a working state.
