A method, system, and apparatus may route an interrupt to a first core of a plurality of cores of a multi-core system. If the first core is in an idle or low power state, or operating in a power state at or below a threshold power state, a core in a least idle state may be found. The interrupt may be rerouted to and processed by the core in the least idle state. Cores in a multi-core system may be rated based on for example, power states or other characteristics, and interrupts may be assigned based on these ratings. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising:routing an interrupt to a first core of a plurality of cores of a multi-core system; andif the first core is in a power state at or below a threshold power state:determining a second core of the plurality of cores which is in a highest power state among the power states of the plurality of cores;rerouting the interrupt to the second core in the highest power state, wherein the interrupt is to be rerouted to the second core after the interrupt is routed to the first core; andprocessing the interrupt by the second core in the highest power state.
