I'm not sure about CPU Down Spreading specifically, but I know that spread spectrum clocking has to do with clock frequency energy distribution in order to minimize energy spikes. This is done via a loop that matches the frequency to a reference.

Well if this is what they mean, then down spreading is a technique used by manufactures to reduce EMI waves.
