Abstract
A method, device, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes supplying a processor with a first voltage. The method also includes allowing the processor to function within an enhanced processor halt state at the first voltage. The first voltage is a voltage below the lowest compatible voltage for the enhanced processor halt state. The method allows the processor to execute instructions upon waking from the enhanced processor halt state at the first voltage by throttling a maximum throughput rate of instructions being executed in the processor.
