Abstract
In one embodiment, there is provided a method comprising determining a target operating point for an electronic device, the target operating point including a target operating frequency and a target operating voltage; and dynamically changing a current operating point for the electronic device including a current operating frequency and a current operating voltage by non-contemporaneously changing the current operating frequency to the target operating frequency and a current operating voltage to the target operating voltage, wherein during the changing the electronic device is in an active state.
