Abstract
An apparatus comprising plurality of functional integrated circuit blocks, each manufactured with different oxide thicknesses on a monolithic integrated circuit die, is described. Using different gate oxide thicknesses for different functional integrated circuit blocks provides reduced power consumption and increases performance in processing systems. Several embodiments comprising different combinations of functional integrated circuit blocks, including processor cores and memory elements, are presented.
