Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016106070A1] In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of processing cores; a plurality of integrated voltage regulators (IVRs), and voltage regulator logic. Each IVR may be uniquely associated with one of the plurality of processing cores and comprising a plurality of bridge transistors. The voltage regulator logic may be to: monitor power state information of the core; determine, based on the power state information, whether the core has transitioned from a first power state to a second power state; and in response to a determination that the core has transitioned from the first power state to the second power state, adjust at least one of a bridge activation level of the IVR and a switching frequency of the IVR based at least on the second power state. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
