Abstract
Examples herein relate to assigning, by a system agent of a central processing unit (CPU), an operating frequency to a core group based priority level of the core group while avoiding throttling of the system agent. Avoiding throttling of the system agent can include maintaining a minimum performance level of the system agent. A minimum performance level of the system agent can be based on a minimum operating frequency. Assigning, by a system agent of a central processing unit, an operating frequency to a core group based priority level of the core group while avoiding throttling of the system agent can avoid a thermal limit of the CPU. Avoiding thermal limit of the CPU can include adjusting the operating frequency to the core group to avoid performance indicators of the CPU. A performance indicator can indicate CPU utilization corresponds to Thermal Design Point (TDP).
