DYNAMIC RESPONSE IMPROVEMENT OF HYBRID POWER BOOST TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Methods and apparatus relating to improving dynamic response of hybrid power boost technology are described. In one embodiment, two or more levels of charger over-current are used for AC adapters/chargers during transition from charging (e.g., one or more battery packs) to boosting platform performance (e.g., by increasing the operating frequency of one or more processor cores of a processor). In another embodiment, an adapter's voltage level is used as a trigger for fast transition from charging to boosting. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, to cause modification to performance of one or more processor cores of a processor based on at least two levels of over-current for a charger, wherein the charger is to transition from charging one or more battery packs to boosting the performance of at least one of the one or more processor cores of the processor in response to exceeding one of the at least two over-current levels for the charger.
