Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
causing a voltage regulator of a computing system to receive power from a power supply unit of the computing system, regulate the received power, and supply the regulated power to a processor of the computing system;
receiving, by a controller of the voltage regulator, load information indicative of an amount of current presently being drawn by the processor;
determining, by the controller, from a repository, a predetermined value of a switching frequency for the voltage regulator based on the load information to attain a predetermined power efficiency of the voltage regulator; and
adjusting, by the controller, the switching frequency of the voltage regulator to the predetermined value of the switching frequency to operate the voltage regulator at the predetermined power efficiency.
