The extremely small capacitance of the on-chip wiring caused an increase in performance by several orders of magnitude. Lowering the power supply voltage[ edit ] Main article: Reduced energy implies less heat dissipation. By lowering the power supply from 5V to 3. Many motherboards have a voltage regulator module to provide the even lower power supply voltages required by many CPUs. It could be used both with logic devices which used 3. The CMOS—TTL logic level problem[ edit ] Interconnecting[…]
