Re: "The subthreshold current is also proportional to the transistor device size ... etc etc"

Thanks but that wasn't the question. The question is what's so bad about leakage currents on a desktop system?

RDM - Re: " . Reducing V exponentially increases the subthreshold current. .... Thus, the current can be minimized by reducing the transistor sizes, and by reducing the supply voltage. "

These statements contradict each other.
