Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a processor configured with a zero power hibernation/sleep mode during which the processor consumes no power are described. According to one embodiment, a processor includes a power management logic. The power management logic is configured to receive a control signal requesting the processor to transition into a power saving mode that reduces power to the processor while retaining a current state of the processor. The power management logic is configured to store, in response to the control signal, a current state of components of the processor in a non-volatile memory. The power management logic is configured to adjust power to the processor to a zero power mode to place the processor into the power saving mode, wherein during the zero power mode the processor is receiving no power.
