1. A method comprising:
transmitting pixel data for a first frame from a processor to a display device at a first rate that is higher than a rate at which the display device scans out pixel data to refresh a display panel;
decoupling the first rate from a rate at which the display device uses the pixel data to update the display panel; and
placing a portion of the processor in a reduced power state in response to the processor completing transmission of the first frame to the display device.
