IBM’s adding a new lower-low-power technique to future Power processors that’s one step beyond its current nap, sleep and heavy sleep options-the facility to position the processor into ” deep sleep” . It’ll feel very refreshed inside the morning.
Cutting power to the processor by a much bigger margin than before, the planned new option will allow future chips to draw ” almost no power” when not being heavily used, although putting your processor into this new persistent vegetative state has its drawbacks-there’ll be a 10-20 millisecond wake up time to bring it around again.
