As we said in the beginning, SOI helps reducing leakage, power consumption and increases the achievable frequency. This is exactly why Trinity is able to achieve such low power consumption levels like 15W / 25W and 35W. The Trinity APU will have working frequencies between 2 GHz and 3.8 GHz. Other than refining the... |
