Abstract
To compensate for inaccuracies in reported values for current output from a voltage regulator (VR) to a processor, the VR may be tested, and a load line determined so the processor can calculate the inaccuracy. This load line may be programmed into the BIOS as an offset, and the BIOS values used from then on so the CPU can determine what the true inaccuracy is, as opposed to the inaccuracy requested of the VR manufacturer. These values may be used during operation to control CPU turbo mode and CPU throttling.
