    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for improving yield and frequency performance of integrated circuit processors, such as multiple-core processors. In an example, an apparatus can include a plurality of clock buffers, each clock buffer of the plurality of clock buffers configured to receive a first clock signal and distribute a plurality of second clock signals, a one-time programmable locate critical path mechanism configured provide a plurality of indications to enable or disable a delay of each clock buffer of the plurality of clock buffers, and a power management control circuit configured to over-ride one or more of the plurality of indications in a first non-test mode of operation of the apparatus and to not over-ride the one or more indications in a second non-test mode of operation of the apparatus.
