  2. Dynamic frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_frequency_scaling

    Dynamic frequency scaling (also known as CPU throttling) is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual needs, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.

  3. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    When the CPU uses power management features to reduce energy use, other components, such as the motherboard and chipset, take up a larger proportion of the computer's energy. In applications where the computer is often heavily loaded, such as scientific computing, performance per watt (how much computing the CPU does per unit of energy) becomes ...

  4. SpeedStep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpeedStep

    Running a processor at high clock speeds allows for better performance. However, when the same processor is run at a lower frequency (speed), it generates less heat and consumes less power. In many cases, the core voltage can also be reduced, further reducing power consumption and heat generation. By using SpeedStep, users can select the ...

  6. AMD Turbo Core - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Turbo_Core

    AMD Turbo Core a.k.a. AMD Core Performance Boost (CPB) is a dynamic frequency scaling technology implemented by AMD that allows the processor to dynamically adjust and control the processor operating frequency in certain versions of its processors which allows for increased performance when needed while maintaining lower power and thermal parameters during normal operation.

  7. Idle (CPU) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_(CPU)

    Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle. Modern processors use idle time to save power. Common methods are reducing the clock speed along with the CPU voltage and sending parts of the processor into a sleep state.
