Summary: | In an embodiment, a processor includes processing cores to execute instructions; and throttling logic. The throttling logic is to: determine an average capacitance score for execution events in a sliding window; perform frequency throttling when the average capacitance score exceeds a throttling threshold; determine a count of frequency throttling instances; and in response to a determination that the count of frequency throttling instances exceeds a maximum throttling value, increase the throttling threshold and concurrently reduce a baseline frequency. Other embodiments are described and claimed. |
