Abstract
An information handling system may include a processor having a plurality of cores integrated within an integrated circuit package and a thermal controller communicatively coupled to the processor and configured to, responsive to absence of a condition for operating the processor with a reduced core count, control the processor in accordance with a standard thermal profile defining a maximum operating temperature of the processor as a function of power consumed by the processor, and responsive to presence of the condition for operating the processor with the reduced core count, control the processor in accordance with a modified thermal profile defining a modified maximum operating temperature of the processor as a function of power consumed by the processor, wherein for a given power consumption of the processor, the modified thermal profile defines a modified maximum temperature that is greater than the maximum operating temperature defined by the standard thermal profile.
