Separate thermal and electrical throttling limits in processors

摘要

A system may include a first portion and a processor. The first portion may include a first thermal sensor to provide first thermal data. The processor may include a core, a core thermal sensor to provide core thermal data, and an electrical power sensor to provide electrical data. The processor may also include a power management unit to selectively throttle the core based on the first thermal data, the core thermal data, and the electrical data.
