As temperature increases, leakage increases exponentially. TSMC [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co] projects that leakage consumes about 50% of the total power. We've asked our customers implementing designs on 90-nm silicon, and they are seeing that leakage consumes 25 to 40% of power. In moving to 65 nm, we expect 50 to 70% of total power will be lost through leakage.

In a time of modern warfare it is requiring joint exercises or operations to deter the enemy. But with regard to conducting joint warfare, the army doesn't talk to the air force. The navy doesn't talk to the army.
