ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to determine if a temperature of an electronic device is equal to or exceeds a predetermined threshold. In response to detecting the temperature of the electronic device has at least reached the predetermined threshold, determining a target throttling point for a processor, the target throttling point including a target operating frequency and target operating voltage. Thereafter, dynamically changing a current operating point for the electronic device including a current operating frequency and a current operating voltage by non-contemporaneously changing the current operating frequency to the target operating frequency and the current operating voltage to the target operating voltage. During the changing of the current operating voltage the device is in an active state.
