System, apparatus and method for increasing performance in a processor during a voltage ramp
In one embodiment, a processor includes: a graphics processor to execute a workload; and a power controller coupled to the graphics processor. The power controller may include a voltage ramp circuit to receive a request for the graphics processor to operate at a first performance state having a first operating voltage and a first operating frequency and cause an output voltage of a voltage regulator to increase to the first operating voltage. The voltage ramp circuit may be configured to enable the graphics processor to execute the workload at an interim performance state having an interim operating voltage and an interim operating frequency when the output voltage reaches a minimum operating voltage. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
