Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of an apparatus, system and method are described for configurable processor thermal management. An apparatus may comprise, for example, a processor arranged to operate in a plurality of thermal modes comprising a thermal limit down mode, a normal thermal limit mode and a thermal limit up mode, and thermal management logic operative to select a thermal mode based on one or more properties of the apparatus. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus, comprising: a processor arranged to operate in a plurality of thermal modes including at least a first mode having a first thermal limit and a second mode having a second thermal limit different than the first thermal limit, the plurality of thermal modes comprising a plurality of different maximum temperature limits for the processor wherein each of the plurality of thermal modes comprises a set of pre-determined operating frequencies an…
