  • Saving power when in or transitioning to a static mode of a processor
    Patent number: 7260731
    Abstract: A method for reducing power utilized by a processor including the steps of determining that a processor is transitioning from a computing mode to a mode is which system clock to the processor is disabled, and reducing core voltage to the processor to a value sufficient to maintain state during the mode in which system clock is disabled.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2000
    Date of Patent: August 21, 2007
    Assignee: Transmeta Corporation
    Inventors: Andrew Read, Sameer Halepete, Keith Klayman
  • Adaptive power control based on pre package characterization of integrated circuits
    Patent number: 7228242
    Abstract: A method and system of adaptive power control based on pre package characterization of integrated circuits. Characteristics of a specific integrated circuit are used to adaptively control power of the integrated circuit.

  • Adaptive power control
    Patent number: 7100061
    Abstract: A method for controlling the power used by a computer including the steps of measuring the operating characteristics of a central processor of the computer, determining when the operating characteristics of the central processor are significantly different than required by the operations being conducted, and changing the operating characteristics of the central processor to a level commensurate with the operations being conducted.
