Power consumption can be reduced in several ways, including the following: • Voltage reduction – dual-voltage CPUs, dynamic voltage scaling, under-voltage, etc. • Frequency reduction – under-clocking, dynamic frequency-scaling, etc. • Capacitance reduction – increasingly integrated circuits that replace PCB traces between two chips with relatively lower-capacitance on-chip metal interconnect between two sections of a single integrated chip; low-k dielectric, etc. • Power gating techniques such as clock […]
