Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for maintaining performance of an integrated circuit are disclosed. One embodiment of a system may comprise a working power limit evaluator that determines a working power limit as a function of at least one performance factor associated with variations that affect performance of the integrated circuit. The system may further comprise a power management system that varies power of the integrated circuit based on the working power limit and an actual power of the integrated circuit to maintain a substantially constant performance.
