    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor comprises: a first die including at least one core and at least one first die thermal sensor; a second die including at least one memory and at least one second die thermal sensor; and a thermal controller to receive first thermal data from the at least one first die thermal sensor and second thermal data from the at least one second die thermal sensor, calculate a first thermal margin for the first die based at least in part on the first thermal data and a first thermal loadline for the first die and calculate a second thermal margin for the second die based at least in part on the second thermal data and a second thermal loadline for the second die. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A method for determining whether to perform maintenance for an electronic device includes generating a baseline characterization of thermal performance for a heat-generating component of the electronic device at a baseline date. The method also includes generating an assessment characterization of the thermal performance at an assessment date after the baseline date. The method further includes generating a historical trend that includes the baseline characterization and the assessment characterization. Additionally, the method includes determining whether to perform maintenance for the heat-generating component based on the historical trend and a specified maintenance parameter.
