During idle mode with deep C states, the processor maintains high frequency to sustain system operation. In those cycles, substantial data flows through the CPU and is eventually output, ensuring the system remains active rather than shutting down. The billions of cycles likely involve minimal processing—perhaps just simple checks or background tasks—resulting in sparse data movement.

At the basic level, the transistors remain completely still and inactive. Even with 100 units operating at 1 hertz, the same rule applies. Since nothing changes every second, no action occurs unless specifically told otherwise.

The NOP instruction is a simple machine code command used in programming and assembly language.

It seems like background processes that constantly update every second. They might also exist to maintain the CPU active, which helps prevent the computer from shutting down while still allowing it to sleep.
