Overview Addressing the need for processors in embedded x86 applications to be rated with something more than just clock frequency, AMD created the Performance-Power Rating (PPR) system. A critical component of the PPR system is the typical power consumption of the CPU core. Since the AMD Geode GX processor family features integrated functionality in addition to the CPU core itself, the task of determining typical CPU core power consumption requires some explanation. This paper describes how the AMD Geode GX 533@1.1W processor and the Geode LX 800@0.9W processor typical CPU core power consumption was determined.
