Zusammenfassung: | A method for providing a regulated core voltage to a processor within a computer system is disclosed. In accordance with a method and system of the present invention, a power supply is provided for a processor that includes multiple core transistors and multiple I/O transistors. An input voltage is supplied to a first power input of the processor for powering the I/O transistors within the processor. This input voltage is also supplied to a second power input of the processor for powering the core transistors within the processor via a voltage regulator and a resistor, with the voltage regulator and the resistor connected in parallel, such that the voltage drop across said voltage regulator can be reduced. |
