 Block diagram: Silverthorne

Silverthorne reduces power consumption by transistor design, by aggressively turning down or off unused parts of the chip, and by adjusting its working parameters according to load. Its Level 1 (L1) cache is designed to alleviate and detect soft errors, while the L2 cache has slower but more effective error detection and correction.
