Abstract

Machine-readable media, methods, and apparatus are described to throttle interfaces and/or logic based upon a temperature estimate. Some embodiments may provide thermal effects associated with throttled and non-throttled interfaces to a filter. The filter may update a temperature estimate based upon the provided thermal effects and one or more thermal time constants. Control logic may determine whether to throttle one or more interface based upon the temperature estimate of the filter.
