Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus to set thermal design power in a microprocessor.SOLUTION: A technique changes a thermal design power (TDP) value. In one embodiment, one or more environmental or user-driven changes may cause a processor's TDP value to be changed. Furthermore, in an embodiment, a change in TDP may alter a turbo mode target frequency. 【課題】マイクロプロセッサにおける熱設計電力を設定する方法及び装置を提供する。【解決手段】熱設計電力（TDP）値を変更する技術である。一実施例では、１つ以上の環境又はユーザ駆動の変更は、プロセッサのTDP値を変更させてもよい。更に、或る実施例では、TDPの変更は、ターボモードの目標周波数を変更してもよい。【選択図】図１
