Elmer, Standby current? The current with voltage applied and no clock so you get the summed leakage through all the gates in a random manner? or do they go to a standard position via biasing with no clock? Well, this must be quite low. I have never heard of this being an issue before now. usually AMD publishes more data than Intel. Unless AMD publishes it under another name or replaces the term with another measurement. I would also expect more gates, as in P-4 to have a larger standby current. Is this easy to measure by remiving the clock from a system and using a milliammeter? Bill
