    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes a core to execute instructions, where the core includes a clock generation logic to receive and distribute a first clock signal to a plurality of units of the core, a restriction logic to receive a restriction command and to reduce delivery of the first clock signal to at least one of the plurality of units. The restriction logic may cause the first clock signal to be distributed to the plurality of units at a lower frequency than a frequency of the first clock signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of cores and a cache unit reserved for a first core of the plurality of cores. The cache unit may include a first cache slice, a second cache slice, and power logic to switch operation of the cache unit between a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The first operating mode may include use of both the first cache slice and the second cache slice. The second operating mode may include use of the first cache slice and disabling the second cache slice. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: An embodiment of an integrated circuit may comprise a front end unit, and circuitry coupled to the front end unit, the circuitry to provide a high confidence, multiple branch offset predictor. For example, the circuitry may be configured to identify an entry in a multiple-taken-branch prediction table that corresponds to a conditional branch instruction, determine if a confidence level of the entry exceeds a threshold confidence level, and, if so determined, provide multiple taken branch predictions that stem from the conditional branch instruction from the entry in the multiple-taken-branch prediction table. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
