The embodiment of the application provides an apparatus and a method for dynamically adjusting a frequency of central processing unit CPU. The apparatus is used for a computer system which executes a CPU bound application and a memory bound application, and comprises: a ratio acquiring unit for acquiring the ratio of memory access instruction as executing an application task set; a frequency calculating unit connected with the ratio acquiring unit for calculating an adjusted new frequency of CPU in inverse proportional to the ratio of memory access instruction acquired by the ratio acquiring unit; and a frequency adjusting unit connected with the frequency calculating unit for adjusting the frequency of CPU to the new frequency of CPU. With the apparatus and method for adjusting the frequency of CPU according to the embodiment of the invention, the frequency of CPU can be decreased in consideration of the ratio of memory access instruction so as to reduce the power consumption of the computer system.
