Abstract
Systems and methods of managing operating points provide for determining the number of active cores in a plurality of processor cores. A maximum operating point is selected for at least one of the active cores based on the number of active cores. In one embodiment, the number of active cores is determined by monitoring an ACPI processor power state signal of each of the plurality of cores.
