As we know, the processors are made with fairly large errors. Different chips per wafer operate differently, and to ensure that the series was released as many chips at the plant when you configure them lay a large margin of safety. Processors, which are supplied with a clock speed of 3.0GHz, can often operate at a frequency greater than several hundred megahertz. This is explained by the fact that the plant may need to release more processors that satisfy the desired specifications. The same system is used to set the voltage on the processor.

Even if many processors with a frequency of 3.0GHz work well, for example, with an input voltage of 1.3V, the manufacturer sets the operating voltage significantly above this value, say, 1.4V. With such large stocks of some voltage drop will not be as bad effects as a smaller decrease in tension.

Intel introduced a new processor design, which uses self-tuning. In short, this means that the "flexible" processor optimizes its parameters for its intended use in accordance with some predetermined parameters such as clock speed, voltage and temperature. Both core and its cache memory chips have to troubleshoot that recognize the problem with the processor and automatically adjust its characteristics so as to reduce the likelihood of injury or accident.

New technology allows the processor to automatically work more or less for optimal performance and power consumption. In the summer heat, the CPU can run slowly so as not to overheat, and in the winter to improve productivity through a more powerful external cooling, and all this without the direct participation of the user, similar technology Intel Turbo Boost. It is still unknown when the technology of self-adjustment (Self Tuning) will find their way into commercial processors Intel.
