Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing a low power mode for a processor while maintaining snoop throughput are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a cache, a processor, and a frequency controller. The frequency controller is to operate the apparatus in a low power mode in which the operating frequency of the cache is higher than the operating frequency of the processor.
