Abstract
A method of operating a chipset for saving power consumption is provided. Basic operating units, control units and input/output ports are used to simulate the operation inside the chipset. Any idling operating units are temporarily shut down, only to be activated again on demand. Ultimately, less power consumption is used and less heat is generated by the chipset.
