TL;DR: Low-power design techniques are used throughout the entire design, including dynamically powered down execution units, resulting in workstation level performance packed into a low-power, low-cost design ideal for notebooks and desktop computers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Thermal management system for high performance PowerPC/sup TM/ microprocessors
TL;DR: The next-generation PowerPC/sup TM/ microprocessor includes a thermal assist unit (TAU) comprised of an on-chip thermal sensor and associated logic and dynamically adjusts processor operation to provide maximum performance under changing environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A wide-bandwidth low-voltage PLL for PowerPC microprocessors
TL;DR: In this article, a 3.3 V Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL) clock synthesizer implemented in 0.5 /spl mu/m CMOS technology is described.
