ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods of managing power provide for applying a voltage from a voltage regulator to a component of a computing system and reducing the voltage based on a power saving parameter that is dedicated to the component. The reduction can be in conjunction with the entry of the component into a low power state such as a standby state or an off state, where the power saving parameter defines a voltage such as a minimum operating voltage or minimum sustainable voltage for the component, respectively. In one embodiment, the component is a central processing unit.
