PROCESSOR CORE WITH HIGHER PERFORMANCE BURST OPERATION WITH LOWER POWER DISSIPATION SUSTAINED WORKLOAD MODE

摘要

A processor may operate at a first frequency level for a first time interval. The processor automatically may transition to a sleep state from the first frequency level after the first time interval. Then the processor automatically transitions from the sleep state to the first frequency level after a second time interval. As a result the processor may operate at a reduced power consumption and higher performance.
