HANDLING LOSS OF POWER FOR UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY EFFICIENCY

Described are mechanisms and methods for reducing CPU power upon interruption of a supplied power. In some embodiments, an apparatus may comprise an input to receive an indicator that a supply voltage to a computer system has been interrupted. The apparatus may comprise an output to provide an indicator to reduce a processor power consumption level. The apparatus may also comprise a circuitry to establish the indicator to reduce the processor power level based upon the indicator that the supply voltage to the computer system has been interrupted.
