•Intel‟s SpeedStep processor technology
Intel‟s SpeedstepTM technology based processors and their successors are capable of:
•Changing the internal clock frequencies
•Adapting core voltage to changes in power supply
•Switching of selective parts of the CPU cores / CPU on or off depending on whether the current calculations require them to be available
•Using the reduced the clock rate and voltage of the processor core while on batteries, leading to significant power saving.
•Switching between these modes is transparent to user and is usually fast <however, while the system is connected to external power supply, the full clock rate and core voltage is available to processor resulting into maximum performance>
•Transmeta‟s Crusoe processor technology
•Total number of transistors are reduced in an attempt tosave the power consumption
