Incorrect information without reference. Reducing clock speeds within supported frequencies is not underclocking. Similar to overclocking, underclocking refers to clocking to frequencies below supported frequencies.
Line 8:
 
Dynamic frequency scaling almost always appear in conjunction with [[dynamic voltage scaling]], since higher frequencies require higher supply voltages for the digital circuit to yield correct results. The combined topic is known as '''dynamic voltage and frequency scaling''' ('''DVFS''').
 
Processor throttling is also known as "automatic [[underclocking]]". Automatic overclocking (boosting) is also technically a form of dynamic frequency scaling, but it's relatively new and usually not discussed with throttling.
