Abstract
A processor, comprising a monitor for measuring the relative amount of Input/Output (I/O) within the processor, results of the measuring being used by the processor for controlling a clock speed of the processor. Another embodiment discloses a processor, comprising a monitor for measuring the relative importance of Input/Output (I/O) within the processor, results of the measuring being used by the processor for controlling a clock speed of said processor. Still another embodiment discloses a processor, comprising a monitor for measuring the relative amount of time between Input/Output (I/O) within the processor, results of the measuring being used by the processor for controlling a clock speed of the processor.
