Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for operating a processor core. This may include a first circuit to operate at a frequency that is dependent on a power supply voltage. A frequency control circuit may be provided to control a frequency of the first circuit by directing a voltage regulator to increase or decrease the power supply voltage.
