Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to dynamic intelligent allocation and utilization of package maximum operating current budget are described. In one embodiment, at least one computational element may be caused to operate at an increased frequency in response to a determination that an opportunity exists to reduce a maximum dynamic capacitance associated with the processor. The determination may be based on an idle status of one or more subsystems of the processor. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to programmable power performance optimization for graphics cores are described. In one embodiment, the first frame of a scene is analyzed. It is then determined whether to optimize one or more operations, to be performed on one or more frames of the scene, based on the second frame of the scene and an idle status of one or more subsystems of a processor. And, one or more optimization operations are performed on a third frame of the scene based on the determination of whether to optimize the one or more operations. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
