That's under the assertion that moving instructions through the processor is the main source of heat generation in computers. Is this not the case?

- gthank 17y agoThe idle draw of the processor was already a major source of power consumption when I went through undergrad VLSI 5 years ago. It was my understanding that it might not be more than 50% in actual production processors, but only because they were already using lots of tricks as compared to a naive design.
