Abstract
A system for reducing clock speed and power consumption in a network chip. The system has a core that transmits and receives signals at a first clock speed. A receive buffer is in communication with the core and configured to transmit the signals to the core at the first clock speed. A transmit buffer is in communication with the core and configured to receive signals from the core at the first clock speed. A sync is configured to receive signals in the receive buffer at a second clock speed and to transmit the signals from the transmit buffer at the second clock speed. The sync is in communication with the transmit buffer and the receive buffer.
