In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of processing engines to execute instructions and a power management unit. The power management unit is to: control an operating frequency and a supply voltage according to a first voltage/frequency curve associated with a first temperature; and in response to a detection of a second temperature in the processor, increase the operating frequency to a second frequency based on a second voltage/frequency curve, wherein, at least one voltage of a first range of voltages, the second voltage/frequency curve specifies a higher frequency than the first voltage/frequency curve. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Methods and apparatus to provide per die voltage programming for energy efficient integrated circuit (IC) operation are described. In some embodiments, the voltage potential supplied to an IC component is lowered below a peak performance voltage level, e.g., to reduce power consumption by the component. Other embodiments are also described.
