Ask HN: Energy efficient computing chip2 points·by k_lander·9 anni fa·1 commentsis it possible to have the cpu equivalent of non-volatile memory?ie. a cpu that does not refresh and consumes no energy in its idle state until some data is available at its inputs?1 commentsPost comment[–]wmf·9 anni fareplyIn theory static CMOS behaves this way but there is still some power consumption due to leakage. Some microcontrollers have ultra-low-power sleep modes.
