Abstract
In an embodiment, a processor includes a power control unit and a plurality of components. A first component of the plurality of components is to receive a power input from a power supply device. The power control unit is to: determine a received voltage at a power input terminal of the first component; determine a voltage difference between the received voltage of the first component and a reliability goal voltage of the first component; determine a running average value based on the voltage difference; and adjust a supply voltage of the power supply device based on the running average value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
