Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving utilization data from thread units of one or more processor cores, determining an operating frequency for a core clock signal based on the utilization data, a target utilization value, and an operating mode of the processor, and generating the core clock signal based on the determined operating frequency. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
