Journal foniksonik's Journal: Low power CPUs
This would be great for solar powered applications or processing driven by human body processes, ie: where the voltage won't always be consistent, yet the processor can still function consistently even if not at the same speed... it will continue computing effectively and accurately regardless of it's energy supply without the need for a large (relative to use) battery or capacitor....
I'm thinking of apps like micro cpus for embedded implants or for environmental sensors running on solar power
If nothing else an added benefit would be that they can continue operating at lower speeds while the power supply is running out, slow down operations in synch with amount of battery power left
