Abstract
A method and apparatus control power consumption of at least one functional unit on an integrated circuit by determining that a change in a first performance state is required for the at least one functional unit, and changing the first performance state to a second performance state that sets voltage for the functional unit to be at an under-voltage margin setting with respect to a nominal product minimum voltage of the functional unit.
