Platform power consumption reduction via power state switching

A method comprising:

• causing a processor to enter a first low power consumption state instead of a second low power consumption state based on a threshold time period between a first wake event and a second wake event, wherein the first wake event or the second wake event are to each correspond to one of a plurality of awake requests, wherein the first low power consumption state consumes more power than the second low power consumption state;
• and
• determining whether the processor enters the first low power consumption state based on a scenario and one of the plurality of awake requests, wherein at least one of the plurality of awake requests causes prevention of entry into the second low power consumption state by the processor for as long as the one or more awake requests are active.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising one or more instructions that when executed on at least one processor configure the at least one processor to perform one or more operations to:

• cause the at least one processor to enter a first low power consumption state instead of a second low power consumption state based on a threshold time period between a first wake event and a second wake event, wherein the first wake event or the second wake event are to each correspond to one of a plurality of awake requests, wherein the first low power consumption state consumes more power than the second low power consumption state;
• and
• determine whether the at least one processor enters the first low power consumption state based on a scenario and one of the plurality of awake requests, wherein at least one of the plurality of awake requests is to cause prevention of entry into the second low power consumption state by the at least one processor for as long as the one or more awake requests are active.
