The package power control allows for customization to implement optimal turbo within 
platform power delivery and package thermal solution limitations.

The 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 ensured in all usages. 
This function is similar to the package level long duration window control. 

'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 and/or ‘Turbo Time Parameter’ 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.
