Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to deterministic management of dynamic thermal response of processors are described. In one embodiment, available thermal headroom may be used to extract the performance potential in a deterministic way, e.g., such that it reduces or even eliminates the product-to-product variations. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
