Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to reduce thermal fluctuations in semiconductor processors are disclosed. An apparatus includes a temperature analyzer to determine a current temperature of a processor. The apparatus further includes a controller to provide an idle workload to the processor to execute in response to the current temperature falling below a setback temperature.
