A method for performing processor resource allocation in an electronic device is provided, where the method may include the steps of: obtaining task-related information to determine whether a task of a plurality of tasks is a heavy task (e.g. the heavy task may correspond to heavier loading than others of the plurality of tasks), to selectively utilize a specific processor core within a plurality of processor cores to perform the task, and determining whether at least one scenario task exists within others of the plurality of tasks, to selectively determine according to application requirements a minimum processor core count and a minimum operating frequency for performing the at least one scenario task; and performing processor resource allocation according to a power table and system loading, to perform any remaining portion of the plurality of tasks. An apparatus for performing processor resource allocation according to the above method is provided.
