So the processor computation rate increases/decreases as voltage does? This could have interesting applications, such as a treadmill that allows you to compute (run games? watch videos?) more the faster you run, or a phone that gradually decreases the power supply to its processor to conserve power as its battery loses charge.
- zeusk 11y agoNo, but higher voltage allows for lower gate propogation delay.
- fouric 11y agoI'm afraid that I don't understand the difference...

- mjbs 11y agoThat is correct, but the difference may not be that noticeable. We can look at the GA144 asynchronous computer as an example. You can find a relevant graph that compares supply voltage to execution speed on page 20 of this reference: http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/DB002-110705-G144A12.pdf http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/documents/greg/DB002-110...
