Abstract
An apparatus, method and system is described herein for providing multiple maximum current configuration options including corresponding turbo frequencies for a processing device. Available options for a processor are determined by initialization code. And based on platform electrical capabilities, an optimal one of the multiple current configuration options is selected. Moreover, during runtime another current configuration is dynamically selected based on current configuration considerations to provide high flexibility and best possible performance per part and computing platform.
