Abstract
In an embodiment, a processor includes a core to execute instructions, uncore logic coupled to the core, and a power controller to control a power consumption level. The power controller is configured to determine an activity level of the processor and responsive to this level, to generate a request for communication to a second processor coupled to the processor to request frequency coordination between the processors. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
