Abstract
A processor integrated circuit has one or more processor cores and a power management controller in a North-Bridge that generates a first power state recommendation for the one or more processor cores. The North-Bridge also receives a second power state recommendation from a South-Bridge integrated circuit. The North-Bridge determines a final power state for the one or more processor cores based on the first and second power state recommendations.
