Zusammenfassung:In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of processing engines to execute instructions and a power management unit. The power management unit is to: control an operating frequency and a supply voltage according to a first voltage/frequency curve associated with a first temperature; and in response to a detection of a second temperature in the processor, increase the operating frequency to a second frequency based on a second voltage/frequency curve, wherein, at least one voltage of a first range of voltages, the second voltage/frequency curve specifies a higher frequency than the first voltage/frequency curve. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
