The invention relates to a multicore processor and a method for dynamically adjusting a supply voltage and a clock frequency, with which an individual supply voltage and dock frequency adjustment, which depends on a current computing load, is facilitated for each processor core of a multicore processor. Thus, an assembly is disclosed where a local queue memory unit which is connected to the processor core, the internal memory unit, and the level converter is arranged in a voltage-variable region of the processor element in order to store events to be processed by the processor core. The invention is also directed to a method in that the required supply voltage U and the required clock frequency f are adjusted for each cycle in a controlled manner by the processor core of the respective processor element depending on the detection of a number of events to be processed which are stored in an internal queue memory unit.
