Zusammenfassung:A processor comprises a chip, a temperature sensing device, a processor core, and a controller. The temperature sensing device, the processor core, and the controller are integrated on the chip. The controller is configured to set, based on the temperature sensing device, the processor core to a plurality of specified operating points to enable testing of the specified operating points. Each of the operating points is defined by a different temperature and frequency combination, and the processor core is configured to run a set of test codes at each of the operating points.
