    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for determining a mode by which a processor is to be transitioned between power states. In one embodiment, circuitry selectively transitions power management of the processor to or from a limited power states (LPS) mode which, as compared to an alternative power management mode, makes a relatively limited number of two or more power states available to the processor. A transition to or from the LPS mode is performed based on a thermal condition such as one which is based on a skin temperature of a housing structure in which the processor is disposed. In another embodiment, transitions between the two or more power states is performed, during the LPS mode, based on a pendency of a software workload, or based on a completion of such a software workload.
