6.4.3Power Plane ControlThe processor core and graphics core power plane controls allow for customization to implement optimal turbo within voltage regulator thermal limitations. It is possible to use these power plane controls to protect the voltage regulator from overheating due to extended high currents. Power limiting per plane cannot be guaranteed below 1 second and accuracy cannot be guaranteed in all usages. This function is similar to the package level long duration window control.
6.4.4Turbo Time Parameter'Turbo Time Parameter' is a mathematical parameter (units in seconds) that controls the processor turbo algorithm using an exponentially weighted moving average of energy usage. During a maximum power turbo event of about 1.25 x TDP, the processor could sustain Power_Limit_2 for up to approximately 1.5 the Turbo Time Parameter. If the power value is changed during runtime, it may take a period of time (possibly up to approximately 3 to 5 times the ‘Turbo Time Parameter’, depending on the magnitude of the change and other factors) for the algorithm to settle at the new control limits.
