I'd respectfully disagree that including multiple OPPs with the same
voltage
but different frequencies isn't useful. Please allow me to explain.
See, the total amount of consumed energy is, in general, the same for
such
OPPs and the same CPU task(s), if we ignore the static leakage current
and
such stuff, which isn't important here. Though, the emphasis here is on
"total", i.e. without taking into account the actual amount of time
required
for the exemplified CPU task(s) to complete. If the total amount of
time
is quite short, we aren't going to heat up the package and the board
enough
to hit the CPU thermal throttling; this approach is also sometimes
referred
to as "race to idle", which is actually quite effective for
battery-powered
mobile devices that tend to load their CPU cores in bursts, while
remaining
kind of inactive for the remaining time.
However, if the CPU task(s) last long enough to actually saturate the
thermal
capacities of the package and the board or the device, we're getting
into the
CPU throttling territory, in which running the CPU cores slower, but
still as
fast as possible, may actually be beneficial for the overall CPU
performance.
By running the CPU cores slower, we're lowering the power and
"spreading" the
total energy consumption over time, i.e. we're making some time to allow
the
generated heat to dissipate into the surroundings. As we know, having
more
energy consumed by the SoC means more heat generated by the SoC, but the
resulting temperature of the SoC depends on how fast the energy is
consumed,
which equals to how fast the CPUs run; of course, all that is valid
under
the reasonable assumption that the entire cooling setup, including the
board
surroundings, remains unchanged all the time.
Having all that in mind, having a few OPPs with the same voltage but
different
frequencies can actually help us achieve better CPU performance. That
way,
throttling won't have to slow the CPUs more than it's actually needed to
hit
and maintain the desired thermal trip temperatures.
